CVE-2023-30609 (GCVE-0-2023-30609)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-04-25 20:58 – Updated: 2025-02-03 17:54

Summary
matrix-react-sdk is a react-based SDK for inserting a Matrix chat/VoIP client into a web page. Prior to version 3.71.0, plain text messages containing HTML tags are rendered as HTML in the search results. To exploit this, an attacker needs to trick a user into searching for a specific message containing an HTML injection payload. No cross-site scripting attack is possible due to the hardcoded content security policy. Version 3.71.0 of the SDK patches over the issue. As a workaround, restarting the client will clear the HTML injection.
Severity ?
