Starting in version 4.0.0 and prior to versions 8.1.2 and 9.0.1, a malicious Matrix server can use a foreign user's MXID in an OpenID exchange, allowing a bad actor to impersonate users when using the provisioning API. The library does not check that the servername part of the `sub` parameter (containing the user's *claimed* MXID) is the the same as the servername we are talking to. A malicious actor could spin up a server on any given domain, respond with a `sub` parameter according to the user they want to act as and use the resulting token to perform provisioning requests. Versions 8.1.2 and 9.0.1 contain a patch. As a workaround, disable the provisioning API." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-287: Improper Authentication", "cweId": "CWE-287" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "matrix-org", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "matrix-appservice-bridge", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "=", "version_value": ">= 4.0.0, < 8.1.2" }, { "version_affected": "=", "version_value": "= 9.0.0" } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-bridge/security/advisories/GHSA-vc7j-h8xg-fv5x", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-bridge/security/advisories/GHSA-vc7j-h8xg-fv5x" }, { "url": "https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-bridge/commit/4c6723a5e7beda65cdf1ae5dbb882e8beaac8552", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-bridge/commit/4c6723a5e7beda65cdf1ae5dbb882e8beaac8552" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-vc7j-h8xg-fv5x", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" }, "impact": { "cvss": [ { "attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "NONE", "baseScore": 5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "LOW", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N", "version": "3.1" } ] } }
