Threat Score
Telegram clients on Android and iOS were found to automatically verify proxy-server URLs when users click proxy-related links, causing the app to initiate a direct connection to the specified host and thereby exposing the user's real IP address; the issue can be abused via disguised links (e.g., username mentions or benign-looking URLs) and Telegram plans to add a warning prompt for proxy links.
