/>iWhatsApp users should update the application for vulnerability CVE-2025-30401, which Meta recently patched when WhatsApp was released for Windows version 2.2450.6.
Meta cautions Windows users to update to the latest version due to the vulnerability that it is calling a “spoofing” issue that could allow attackers to execute malicious code on devices. The attackers exploit the vulnerability by sending maliciously crafted files with altered file types to users that “cause the recipient to inadvertently execute arbitrary code rather than view the attachment when manually opening the attachment inside WhatsApp.”
If you haven’t updated your WhatsApp application, now’s the time.
