{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2023-28427","details":"matrix-js-sdk is a Matrix messaging protocol Client-Server SDK for JavaScript. In versions prior to 24.0.0 events sent with special strings in key places can temporarily disrupt or impede the matrix-js-sdk from functioning properly, potentially impacting the consumer's ability to process data safely. Note that the matrix-js-sdk can appear to be operating normally but be excluding or corrupting runtime data presented to the consumer. This vulnerability is distinct from GHSA-rfv9-x7hh-xc32 which covers a similar issue. The issue has been patched in matrix-js-sdk 24.0.0 and users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.","modified":"2025-10-24T05:01:53Z","published":"2023-03-28T21:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2023-28427"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-28427"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://matrix.org/blog/2023/03/28/security-releases-matrix-js-sdk-24-0-0-and-matrix-react-sdk-3-69-0/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/security/advisories/GHSA-mwq8-fjpf-c2gr"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://matrix.org/blog/2023/03/28/security-releases-matrix-js-sdk-24-0-0-and-matrix-react-sdk-3-69-0"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-28427"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"node-matrix-js-sdk","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-matrix-js-sdk@0.9.2-1?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.9.2-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libjs-matrix-js-sdk","binary_version":"0.9.2-1"},{"binary_version":"0.9.2-1","binary_name":"node-matrix-js-sdk"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2023/UBUNTU-CVE-2023-28427.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-matrix-js-sdk","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-matrix-js-sdk@9.11.0+~cs9.9.16-1?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["9.3.0+~cs9.9.16-2","9.11.0+~cs9.9.16-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"9.11.0+~cs9.9.16-1","binary_name":"libjs-matrix-js-sdk"},{"binary_name":"node-matrix-js-sdk","binary_version":"9.11.0+~cs9.9.16-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2023/UBUNTU-CVE-2023-28427.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-matrix-js-sdk","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-matrix-js-sdk@9.11.0+~cs9.9.16-2?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["9.11.0+~cs9.9.16-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libjs-matrix-js-sdk","binary_version":"9.11.0+~cs9.9.16-2"},{"binary_name":"node-matrix-js-sdk","binary_version":"9.11.0+~cs9.9.16-2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2023/UBUNTU-CVE-2023-28427.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
