According to PANews, blockchain investigator ZachXBT has highlighted a potential security issue with XChat. During testing, he discovered that if users enable message reception, anyone can send them files. He warned that if this feature is fully launched, it could be exploited for malicious attacks. ZachXBT suggested that the platform implement a 'file reception filter' setting, allowing users to choose between receiving files from no one, only followers, or everyone.
Previously, his recommendations regarding group chat permissions were adopted by Elon Musk.
