    Improper Input Validation

    matrix-synapse is an ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. A malicious server can disrupt the normal operation and prevent the application from federating with other servers by crafting events that exploit this flaw.

    Note:

    This is only exploitable in environments where federation is enabled.

    How to fix Improper Input Validation?

    Upgrade matrix-synapse to version 1.127.1 or higher.

    Improper Input Validation

    matrix-synapse is an ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation via invite messages. An attacker can disrupt the /sync functionality by sending a specially crafted invite over federation.

    How to fix Improper Input Validation?

    Upgrade matrix-synapse to version 1.120.2 or higher.

    [,1.120.2)
    • H
    Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

    matrix-synapse is an ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via the media download process. An attacker can induce the server to download and cache large amounts of remote media, leading to disk space exhaustion by sending repeated requests for large files.

    Note:

    This is only exploitable if the server has not implemented sufficient rate limiting or file size restrictions.

    How to fix Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling?

    Upgrade matrix-synapse to version 1.106.0 or higher.

    Missing Authentication for Critical Function

    matrix-synapse is an ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authentication for Critical Function due to the unauthenticated writes to the media repository. An attacker can plant problematic content into the media repository by exploiting this functionality.

    How to fix Missing Authentication for Critical Function?

    Upgrade matrix-synapse to version 1.106.0 or higher.

    [,1.106.0)
    • H
    Arbitrary File Upload

    matrix-synapse is an ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload due to the dynamic_thumbnails option or processing a specially crafted request. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service by invoking external, potentially untrustworthy decoders.

    How to fix Arbitrary File Upload?

    Upgrade matrix-synapse to version 1.120.2 or higher.

    Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

    matrix-synapse is an ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to the improper handling of multipart/form-data content types. An attacker can amplify denial of service attacks by sending crafted requests that transiently increase memory consumption.

    How to fix Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling?

    Upgrade matrix-synapse to version 1.120.2 or higher.

    Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

    matrix-synapse is an ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to a weakness in how the auth chain cover index is calculated. An attacker can induce high CPU consumption and accumulate excessive data in the database by dispatching specially crafted events.

    How to fix Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling?

    Upgrade matrix-synapse to version 1.105.1 or higher.

    [,1.105.1)

    Information Exposure

    matrix-synapse is an ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. An attacker can query remote users' device information which can be used to enumerate the remote users known to a homeserver.

    How to fix Information Exposure?

    Upgrade matrix-synapse to version 1.95.1 or higher.

    [,1.95.1)

    Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

    matrix-synapse is an ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via the ACL event. An attacker can cause a denial of service by sending a malicious ACL event.

    How to fix Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling?

    Upgrade matrix-synapse to version 1.94.0rc1 or higher.

    [,1.94.0rc1)
    • M
    Improper Input Validation

    matrix-synapse is an ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to the improper validation of receipts. An attacker can forge read receipts for any event by knowing the room ID and event ID.

    How to fix Improper Input Validation?

    Upgrade matrix-synapse to version 1.93.0 or higher.

    [0.34.0,1.93.0)
    • M
    Information Exposure

    matrix-synapse is an ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure due to temporarily stored plaintext passwords in the server database. An attacker can potentially access these passwords if they have access to the database backups.

    How to fix Information Exposure?

    Upgrade matrix-synapse to version 1.93.0 or higher.
