CVE-2023-38700
Prior to version 1.0.1, it was possible to craft an event such that it would leak part of a targeted message event from another bridged room.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
matrix-appservice-irc is a Node.js IRC bridge for Matrix. Prior to version 1.0.1, it was possible to craft an event such that it would leak part of a targeted message event from another bridged room. This required knowing an event ID to target. Version 1.0.1n fixes this issue. As a workaround, set the `matrixHandler.eventCacheSize` config value to `0`. This workaround may impact performance.
