TeleMessage Mayhem: Patch Those Vulnerabilities Before Hackers Do a Happy Dance!
CISA sounds the alarm on two new vulnerabilities in TeleMessage, the app used by Mike Waltz and other government workers. With hackers exploiting these flaws faster than a Wi-Fi thief at a coffee shop, agencies are urged to patch up pronto. TeleMessage is now less secure than a cardboard safe.
Hot Take:
Just when you thought your group chat was secure, it turns out hackers have been eavesdropping on your questionable meme exchanges and, perhaps, your top-secret government intel. Who knew that a two-decade-old technology would be the Achilles’ heel of modern-day secure messaging? Looks like TeleMessage is more ‘Tele-leakage’ until further notice!
Key Points:
- TeleMessage, a messaging app used by government workers, is under scrutiny for vulnerabilities.
- Two newly identified security flaws, CVE-2025-48927 and CVE-2025-48928, are being exploited.
- Hackers can access server memory snapshots and user credentials due to outdated technology.
- The vulnerabilities have been added to CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
- Organizations are advised to patch these vulnerabilities by July 22.
