Summary

Telegram audio preflight transcription enables resource consumption by unauthorized senders

Current Maintainer Triage

Status: narrow
Normalized severity: medium
Assessment: v2026.3.28 still lets unauthorized Telegram group senders trigger audio preflight before allowlist enforcement, but the real impact is resource or billing burn rather than direct data exposure or host compromise.

Vulnerable version range: <=2026.3.28
Patched versions: >= 2026.3.31
