SCA: security update for github.com/t2bot/matrix-media-repo (GHSA-8vmr-h7h5-cqhg)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412872

Description

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)
