medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435335

Description

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

 - Matrix JavaScript SDK is a Matrix Client-Server SDK for JavaScript and TypeScript. matrix-js-sdk before
 38.2.0 has insufficient validation of room predecessor links in MatrixClient::getJoinedRooms, allowing a
 remote attacker to attempt to replace a tombstoned room with an unrelated attacker-supplied room. The
 issue has been patched and users should upgrade to 38.2.0. A workaround is to avoid using
 MatrixClient::getJoinedRooms in favor of getRooms() and filtering upgraded rooms separately.
