GHSA-52mq-6jcv-j79x

LOW

GHSA-52mq-6jcv-j79x is a low-severity (CVSS 2.6) CWE-345 vulnerability in matrix-react-sdk. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-52mq-6jcv-j79x is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description

Impact

The user content sandbox can be abused to trick users into opening unexpected documents after several user interactions. The content can be opened with a blob origin from the Matrix client, so it is possible for a malicious document to access user messages and secrets.

Patches

This has been fixed by https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/5657, which is included in 3.15.0.

Workarounds

There are no known workarounds.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for matrix-react-sdk. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update matrix-react-sdk to 3.15.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-52mq-6jcv-j79x is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-52mq-6jcv-j79x is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-52mq-6jcv-j79x. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
