Last modified
CVE-2019-16248 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The "delete for" feature in Telegram before 5.11 on Android does not delete shared media files from the Telegram Images directory. In other words, there is a potentially misleading UI indication that a sender can remove a recipient's copy of a previously sent image (analogous to supported functionality in which a sender can remove a recipient's copy of a previously sent message).. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
