What is CVE-2018-3988?

Signal Messenger for Android version 4.24.8 contains a vulnerability that may compromise user privacy by exposing private images stored in the application's cache. When users utilize the disappearing messages feature and select the photo option from the 'attach file' menu, the app fails to properly manage the cached images. As a result, these images remain accessible to other applications on the device, posing a risk of unintended exposure of sensitive information.
