CVE-2024-7014, known as EvilVideo, is a vulnerability in Telegram for Android that affects version 10.14.4 and earlier. The flaw allows an attacker to send a malicious Android application that is disguised as a video file through Telegram messages. The issue is in how the application presents or handles the received file, causing a malicious APK to appear to the recipient as if it were a benign video. This can facilitate social engineering and increase the likelihood that a user will interact with the file and proceed toward installation of the malicious application.

This repository is a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-7014 (EvilVideo) affecting Telegram for Android (versions 10.14.4 and earlier). The exploit consists of a Python script (Poc.py) that uses the pyTelegramBotAPI library to upload a malicious file (crafted HTML disguised as an MP4 video) to a Telegram channel. The malicious file (Poc_CVE_2024_7014.txt) contains HTML and JavaScript that immediately redirects the user to download a malicious APK from an attacker-controlled server (http://attacker-server.com/download/telegram-update.apk). The README provides setup instructions, including how to configure the bot, channel, and payload. The exploit leverages social engineering by making the file appear as a legitimate video update, complete with a thumbnail image, to entice users to open it and trigger the malware download. The repository structure is straightforward, with the main exploit logic in Poc.py, the payload in Poc_CVE_2024_7014.txt, and supporting documentation and images.
