Meta Patches Critical Security Vulnerabilities in WhatsApp

Meta has identified two critical security vulnerabilities affecting WhatsApp users across iOS, Android, and Windows platforms, prompting an urgent call for all users to update the application. The first flaw involves the processing of AI-powered interactive messages, while the second affects the handling of documents and PDF files specifically within the Windows version of the app. These vulnerabilities could allow attackers to install malware on affected devices and steal sensitive user information. Meta advises users to perform updates exclusively through official app stores and warns against clicking on suspicious links to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
