SCA: security update for matrix-synapse (GHSA-4f74-84v3-j9q5)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410126

Description

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

- Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver written and maintained by the Matrix.org Foundation. When
users update their passwords, the new credentials may be briefly held in the server database. While this
doesn't grant the server any added capabilities—it already learns the users' passwords as part of the
authentication process—it does disrupt the expectation that passwords won't be stored in the database. As
a result, these passwords could inadvertently be captured in database backups for a longer duration. These
temporarily stored passwords are automatically erased after a 48-hour window. This issue has been
addressed in version 1.93.0. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
(CVE-2023-41335)
