If they verify their end, it does.

What software would not be vulnerable to what you’re describing?

It's not about the software, it's about the distribution of the software. Signal distributes through Google as man-in-the-middle. So if you trust Google, you're OK. But if you're using Signal because you don't trust Google, it doesn't make sense.

In case you don't trust Google I really suggest OpenSSH or WireGuard, to establish a secure tunnel; and then run IRC, Jabber, SIP, or mumble (as needed) over the tunnel.
