SCA: security update for matrix-appservice-irc (GHSA-wm4w-7h2q-3pf7)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419989
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- matrix-appservice-irc is a Node.js IRC bridge for the Matrix messaging protocol. matrix-appservice-irc
before version 2.0.0 can be exploited to leak the truncated body of a message if a malicious user sends a
Matrix reply to an event ID they don't have access to. As a precondition to the attack, the malicious user
needs to know the event ID of the message they want to leak, as well as to be joined to both the Matrix
room and the IRC channel it is bridged to. The message reply containing the leaked message content is
visible to IRC channel members when this happens. matrix-appservice-irc 2.0.0 checks whether the user has
permission to view an event before constructing a reply. Administrators should upgrade to this version.
It's possible to limit the amount of information leaked by setting a reply template that doesn't contain
the original message. See these lines `601-604` in the configuration file linked. (CVE-2024-32000)
