matrix-appservice-irc events can be crafted to leak parts of targeted messages from other bridged rooms

Published Aug 4, 2023 · Updated Oct 3, 2024 · Assigned by GitHub_M

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.
