### Impact In federated rooms, malicious homeservers can craft room events in such a way that prevents Synapse from providing full history to paginating clients. Clients could therefore fail to display room history. ### Patches Update to Synapse 1.152.1 or later. ### Workarounds There are no known workarounds for this issue. ### Identifiers - ELEMENTSEC-2025-1636 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please email us at [security at element.io](mailto:[email protected]).
Update matrix-synapse to 1.152.1 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.
