CVE-2019-3571
An input validation issue affected WhatsApp Desktop versions prior to 0.3.3793 which allows malicious clients to send files to users that would be displayed with a wrong extension.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.78%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
