Summary
File upload local preview can run embedded scripts after user interaction
Details

Impact

When uploading a file, the local file preview can lead to execution of scripts embedded in the uploaded file, but only after several user interactions to open the preview in a separate tab. This only impacts the local user while in the process of uploading. It cannot be exploited remotely or by other users.

Patches

This has been fixed by https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/5981, which is included in 3.21.0.

Workarounds

There are no known workarounds.
