# [v1.28.1](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases/v1.28.1)

## Security

Version 1.28.0 added a bug where block request messages to untrusted devices would include the hash of the plaintext block being requested. This isn’t recorded anywhere on the untrusted device by a stock Syncthing, but a potentially modified/illicit Syncthing instance could in principle record the plaintext hashes of encrypted data, thus being able to draw some conclusions about the data being stored.
