matrix-react-sdk is a Matrix chat protocol SDK for React Javascript. Events sent with special strings in key places can temporarily disrupt or impede the matrix-react-sdk from functioning properly, such as by causing room or event tile crashes. The remainder of the application can appear functional, though certain rooms/events will not be rendered. This issue has been fixed in matrix-react-sdk 3.53.0 and users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - matrix-react-sdk is a Matrix chat protocol SDK for React Javascript. Events sent with special strings in
    key places can temporarily disrupt or impede the matrix-react-sdk from functioning properly, such as by
    causing room or event tile crashes. The remainder of the application can appear functional, though certain
    rooms/events will not be rendered. This issue has been fixed in matrix-react-sdk 3.53.0 and users are
    advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-36060)

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - matrix-js-sdk is a Matrix messaging protocol Client-Server SDK for JavaScript. In versions prior to 19.4.0
    events sent with special strings in key places can temporarily disrupt or impede the matrix-js-sdk from
    functioning properly, potentially impacting the consumer's ability to process data safely. Note that the
    matrix-js-sdk can appear to be operating normally but be excluding or corrupting runtime data presented to
    the consumer. This issue has been fixed in matrix-js-sdk 19.4.0 and users are advised to upgrade. Users
    unable to upgrade may mitigate this issue by redacting applicable events, waiting for the sync processor
    to store data, and restarting the client. Alternatively, redacting the applicable events and clearing all
    storage will often fix most perceived issues. In some cases, no workarounds are possible. (CVE-2022-36059)

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the e4d93d07-297a-11ed-95f8-901b0e9408dc advisory.

  - Thunderbird users who use the Matrix chat protocol were vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack. An     adversary sharing a room with a user had the ability to carry out an attack against affected clients,     making it not show all of a user's rooms or spaces and/or causing minor temporary corruption.
    (CVE-2022-36059)

  - Matrix developers report: The vulnerabilities give an adversary who you share a           room with the     ability to carry out a denial-of-service           attack against the affected clients, making it not show     all           of a user's rooms or spaces and/or causing minor temporary           corruption.
    (CVE-2022-36060)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
