FreeBSD : Matrix clients -- mxc uri validation in js sdk (574f7bc9-a141-11ef-84e9-901b0e9408dc)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 210918

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 574f7bc9-a141-11ef-84e9-901b0e9408dc advisory.

 matrix-js-sdk upstream reports:
 matrix-js-sdk before 34.11.0 is vulnerable to client-side path traversal via crafted MXC URIs. A malicious room member can trigger clients based on the matrix-js-sdk to issue arbitrary authenticated GET requests to the client's homeserver.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
