Matrix Media Repo (MMR) is a highly configurable multi-homeserver media repository for Matrix. MMR before version 1.3.5 allows, by design, unauthenticated remote participants to trigger a download and caching of remote media from a remote homeserver to the local media repository. Such content then also becomes available for download from the local homeserver in an unauthenticated way. The implication is that unauthenticated remote adversaries can use this functionality to plant problematic content into the media repository. MMR 1.3.5 introduces a partial mitigation in the form of new endpoints which require authentication for media downloads. The unauthenticated endpoints will be frozen in a future release, closing the attack vector. Though extremely limited, server operators can use more strict rate limits based on IP address as a partial workaround.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:0297-1 advisory.

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

  - Matrix Media Repo (MMR) is a highly configurable multi-homeserver media repository for Matrix. MMR before
    version 1.3.5 allows, by design, unauthenticated remote participants to trigger a download and caching of
    remote media from a remote homeserver to the local media repository. Such content then also becomes
    available for download from the local homeserver in an unauthenticated way. The implication is that
    unauthenticated remote adversaries can use this functionality to plant problematic content into the media
    repository. MMR 1.3.5 introduces a partial mitigation in the form of new endpoints which require
    authentication for media downloads. The unauthenticated endpoints will be frozen in a future release,
    closing the attack vector. Though extremely limited, server operators can use more strict rate limits
    based on IP address as a partial workaround. (CVE-2024-36402)
