Signal Messaging App for Windows and Linux Has a Serious Bug. A severe bug in the desktop (both Windows & Linux) messaging app Signal discovered by security researchers. This vulnerability allows the attacker to remotely execute malicious code on recipients system without user interaction by sending a message.

While the technical details have not been disclosed as of today, the problem seems to be a remote code execution vulnerability in the messaging app, which could allow the attacker to inject code onto the target.

Currently , it is not very clear if these vulnerability or other bugs are only in the source code of the App or as well in the web app framework ( Electron) , technology used to build the Signal app.  If such flaw is within the Electron , it could lead to bigger impact on other software build on this technology, like Skype, Slack or WordPress.

The company behind messaging app has already release a patch with the latest version. ( Version 1.10.1. and pre-release version 1.11.0-beta.3. )
