SCA: security update for matrix-js-sdk (GHSA-6g67-q39g-r79q)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411424
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- matrix-js-sdk is the Matrix Client-Server SDK for JavaScript and TypeScript. An attacker present in a room
where an MSC3401 group call is taking place can eavesdrop on the video and audio of participants using
matrix-js-sdk, without their knowledge. To affected matrix-js-sdk users, the attacker will not appear to
be participating in the call. This attack is possible because matrix-js-sdk's group call implementation
accepts incoming direct calls from other users, even if they have not yet declared intent to participate
in the group call, as a means of resolving a race condition in call setup. Affected versions do not
restrict access to the user's outbound media in this case. Legacy 1:1 calls are unaffected. This is fixed
in matrix-js-sdk 24.1.0. As a workaround, users may hold group calls in private rooms where only the exact
users who are expected to participate in the call are present. (CVE-2023-29529)
