Synapse vulnerable to federation denial of service via malformed events
Synapse is an open source Matrix homeserver implementation. A malicious server can craft events which, when received, prevent Synapse version up to 1.127.0 from federating with other servers. The vulnerability has been exploited in the wild and has been fixed…

Synapse denial of service through media disk space consumption
Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver. Synapse versions before 1.106 are vulnerable to a disk fill attack, where an unauthenticated adversary can induce Synapse to download and cache large amounts of remote media. The default rate limit strategy is insu…

Synapse allows unsupported content types to lead to memory exhaustion
Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver. In Synapse before 1.120.1, multipart/form-data requests can in certain configurations transiently increase memory consumption beyond expected levels while processing the request, which can be used to amplify denial…

Synapse allows a a malformed invite to break the invitee's `/sync`
Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver. Synapse versions before 1.120.1 fail to properly validate invites received over federation. This vulnerability allows a malicious server to send a specially crafted invite that disrupts the invited user's /sync fun…

Synapse can be forced to thumbnail unexpected file formats, invoking external, potentially untrustworthy decoders
Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver. In Synapse versions before 1.120.1, enabling the dynamic_thumbnails option or processing a specially crafted request could trigger the decoding and thumbnail generation of uncommon image formats, potentially invoki…

Path traversal in Matrix Synapse
Synapse is a package for Matrix homeservers written in Python 3/Twisted. Prior to version 1.47.1, Synapse instances with the media repository enabled can be tricked into downloading a file from a remote server into an arbitrary directory. No authentication is…

Denial of service attack due to invalid JSON
Matrix Synapse before 1.20.0 erroneously permits non-standard NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity JSON values in fields of m.room.member events, allowing remote attackers to execute a denial of service attack against the federation and common Matrix clients. If such…

Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature in matrix-synapse
Matrix Synapse before 1.5.0 mishandles signature checking on some federation APIs. Events sent over /send_join, /send_leave, and /invite may not be correctly signed, or may not come from the expected servers.

matrix-sydent and matrix-synapse Use Cryptographically Weak PRNG
An issue was discovered in Matrix Sydent before 1.0.3 and Synapse before 0.99.3.1. Random number generation is mishandled, which makes it easier for attackers to predict a Sydent authentication token or a Synapse random ID.

Matrix Synapse Predictable Secret Key
Matrix Synapse before 0.34.0.1, when the macaroon_secret_key authentication parameter is not set, uses a predictable value to derive a secret key and other secrets which could allow remote attackers to impersonate users.

Matrix Synapse Improper Signature Validation
Matrix Synapse before 0.33.3.1 allows remote attackers to spoof events and possibly have unspecified other impacts by leveraging improper transaction and event signature validation.

Matrix Synapse Authorization Error
In Synapse before 0.31.2, unauthorised users can hijack rooms when there is no m.room.power_levels event in force.

Matrix Synapse Security Filtering Flaw
The on_get_missing_events function in handlers/federation.py in Matrix Synapse before 0.31.1 has a security bug in the get_missing_events federation API where event visibility rules were not applied correctly.

Matrix Synapse DoS
Matrix Synapse before 0.28.1 is prone to a denial of service flaw where malicious events injected with depth = 2^63 - 1 render rooms unusable, related to federation/federation_base.py and handlers/message.py, as exploited in the wild in April 2018.
