Take stock

  • Check exposure: TeleMessage TM SGNL: Open Heap Dump Endpoint Leaked Messages. Organizations that used TeleMessage archiving apps (TM SGNL and its WhatsApp, Telegram and WeChat variants) before May 2025, and any team running Spring Boot Actuator on internet-facing services.
  • None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.

TeleMessage TM SGNL: Open Heap Dump Endpoint Leaked Messages

There is nothing to patch: the flaws were in TeleMessage's hosted archive, suspended in May 2025, so former customers should treat archived messages and credentials as exposed and Spring Boot teams should confirm /heapdump is not public.

Must act: Organizations that used TeleMessage archiving apps (TM SGNL and its WhatsApp, Telegram and WeChat variants) before May 2025, and any team running Spring Boot Actuator on internet-facing services.

Can relax: Users of the official Signal app and organizations that never used TeleMessage; the flaws were in TeleMessage's servers, not in Signal.

  1. Confirm no device or account in your organization still uses a TeleMessage archiving app; follow CISA's guidance to mitigate or discontinue.
  2. Treat messages, contacts and phone numbers archived before May 2025 as exposed, and brief affected users and compliance.
  3. Rotate TeleMessage passwords, API keys and tokens, and any credentials users sent through the archived apps.
