When such an event is received by Synapse version up to 1.127.0, it prevents it from federating with other servers. The vulnerability has been exploited in the wild.\n\n### Patches\nFixed in Synapse v1.127.1.\n\n### Workarounds\nClosed federation environments of trusted servers or non-federating installations are not affected.\n\n### For more information\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please email us at [security at element.io](mailto:security@element.io).\n\n## Affected packages\n\n- `matrix-synapse < 1.127.1`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade to a patched release:\n\n- `matrix-synapse 1.127.1`","depth":"twilight","depthScore":39,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":39.1,"likelihood":0.2,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
