CheckPoint said the vulnerability gives a hacker the possibility "to intercept and manipulate messages sent by those in a group or private conversation" as well as "create and spread misinformation".
WhatsApp Inc noted it recently placed a limit on forwarding content, added a label to forwarded messages, and made a series of changes to group chats in order to tackle the challenge of misinformation.
Founded in 2009 and purchased by Facebook in 2014, the company said that at the beginning of the year it had more than 1.5 billion users who exchanged 65 billion messages per day.
