v27.190

Highlights for users

• Fixed an issue where a crafted, malformed image link in a message sent by an authenticated user could lead to credential disclosure if a user taps on the image to expand it. (CVE-2022-35962)

This issue was discovered internally by the Zulip developers. We
analyzed all message history on Zulip Cloud and determined it has
never been exploited there.

Zulip server administrators should also upgrade to Zulip Server 5.6 or
later, to make this issue impossible to exploit on their servers.
