What is CVE-2016-10351?

Telegram Desktop version 0.10.19 is susceptible to a local file permission vulnerability that permits unauthorized access to sensitive authentication details. This weakness arises from the use of overly permissive file permissions (0755) for the $HOME/.TelegramDesktop directory, enabling local users to exploit standard filesystem operations to retrieve confidential information. It's crucial for users to be aware of this risk and to apply necessary security practices to safeguard their sensitive data.
