Description

matrix-sdk-ui: Incomplete edit validation

Impact

The message edit validation logic in the matrix-sdk-ui crate before 0.16.1 is missing a check: when replacing an encrypted event, the replacement event itself is not required to be encrypted. This enables a malicious homeserver administrator (or an actor with equivalent power) to impersonate or spoof messages as if they were sent by a victim user.

Patches

matrix-sdk-ui 0.16.1 fixes the message edit validation logic to align with the algorithm for replacement events[^1] described in the Matrix specification.
