| Title | Telegram Telegram Desktop <= 6.7.5 NULL Pointer Dereference |
|---|
| Description | A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in Telegram Desktop versions up to 6.7.5. The vulnerability is located in the RequestButton() function in Telegram/SourceFiles/boxes/url_auth_box.cpp. When processing a login_url inline keyboard button, the function conditionally assigns the bot pointer to nullptr if the server response does not include a write access request. The bot pointer is subsequently dereferenced to access the firstName member (at offset 0x188 in UserData) without a prior null check, resulting in an access violation and immediate client crash. The vulnerability is remotely triggerable by any bot operator via the Telegram Bot API and requires only a single click from the victim. The issue was reported to the vendor on 2026-04-10. |
