CVE-2021-30496
The Telegram app 7.6.2 for iOS allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (application crash) if the victim pastes an attacker-supplied message (e.g., in the Persian language) into a channel or group.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.18%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
