CVE-2019-9970
Open Whisper Signal (aka Signal-Desktop) through 1.23.1 and the Signal Private Messenger application through 4.35.3 for Android are vulnerable to an IDN homograph attack when displaying messages containing URLs. This occurs because the application produces a clickable link even if (for example) Latin and Cyrillic characters exist in the same domain name, and the available font has an identical representation of characters from different alphabets.
| Software | From | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| signal / signal-desktop | - | 1.23.1.x |
| signal / private_messenger | - | 4.35.3.x |
