To prove that qTox does indeed have a remote code execution (RCE) type zero-day vulnerability, the authors upload and cite a GIF image containing detailed information about the actions accessed and executed. The image shows that for the execution of the attack, it is sufficient for the user to accept the communication request sent to him.

Tox is a free peer-to-peer instant messaging and video telephony network protocol that enables encrypted data exchange. The goal of the project is to create a secure and easy-to-use communication platform. the combination of Tox and Tor enables completely anonymous peer-to-peer communication under the dark web.
