CVE-2018-15542

MEDIUM 6.4

An issue was discovered in the org.telegram.messenger application 4.8.11 for Android.

In other words, an attacker could authenticate with an arbitrary passcode. NOTE: the vendor indicates that this is not an attack of interest within the context of their threat model, which excludes Android devices on which rooting has occurred
