This leakage of sensitive information can provide remote attackers with valuable data about the client or the internal network configuration. The exposure of internal IP addresses can lead to various security risks, such as unauthorized access, data theft, or network reconnaissance. The vulnerability is significant because it affects a widely-used instant messaging application and can potentially compromise the security of both individual users and entire networks.
