 ### Fixed
 * <How do the end-user experience this issue? what was the impact?> ([#????](https://github.com/realm/realm-core/issues/????), since v?.?.?)
-* None.
+* Valgrind could report a branch on an uninitialized read when opening something that is not an encrypted Realm file as an encrypted Realm file ([PR #7789](https://github.com/realm/realm-core/pull/7789), since v14.10.0).
 
 ### Breaking changes
 * None.
