    CVE-2019-16248

    Published: 11 Sept 2019Last Modified: 10 Mar 2026

    Summary:

    Details: 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).
