Electrum Releases Version 4.8.3 to Fix Serious Security Issue

Electrum released version 4.8.3 of its Bitcoin wallet to fix a serious security issue and urged all users to upgrade, with technical details of the vulnerability planned for later Saturday. The release notice does not describe how the flaw works, identify affected versions or say whether it has been exploited. Electrum plans to publish the vulnerability details later Saturday but did not give a specific time for that disclosure. Electrum also flagged a possible Windows Defender warning for ZXing.dll, a file associated with the update. The project described the warning as a false positive.
