medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 400124

Description

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

- A logic error in the room key sharing functionality of matrix-js-sdk (aka Matrix Javascript SDK) before
12.4.1 allows a malicious Matrix homeserver present in an encrypted room to steal room encryption keys
(via crafted Matrix protocol messages) that were originally sent by affected Matrix clients participating
in that room. This allows the homeserver to decrypt end-to-end encrypted messages sent by affected
clients. (CVE-2021-40823)

- A logic error in the room key sharing functionality of Element Android before 1.2.2 and matrix-android-
sdk2 (aka Matrix SDK for Android) before 1.2.2 allows a malicious Matrix homeserver present in an
encrypted room to steal room encryption keys (via crafted Matrix protocol messages) that were originally
sent by affected Matrix clients participating in that room. This allows the attacker to decrypt end-to-end
encrypted messages sent by affected clients. (CVE-2021-40824)
