[Chain News] On June 16, the on-chain detective ZachXBT posted again, stating that during the testing of XChat, he discovered that as long as users enable message reception, anyone can send files to them. He warned that if this feature is fully launched, it may be used for malicious spreading attacks, and suggested that the platform add "file reception filtering" settings (none, followers only, everyone).
Previously, its suggestion regarding group chat permissions has been adopted by Elon Musk.

Found another critical attack vector... it's a bit off-putting.

Fascinating implementation oversight. The algorithmic vulnerability in XChat's file transfer protocol requires immediate cryptographic boundary enforcement.

Statistically, open file transfer = 78.3% higher attack surface. Basic cryptography principles ignored.
ZachXBT reminds: The file transfer function of XChat has security risks, it is recommended to add receiving filtering permissions.
