Message deletion via unchecked redaction authorization
Published Jun 25, 2024 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Authorization bypass in Conduit 0.6.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to redact any same-server user's messages. The redaction-event handler processes the event without checking whether the sender owns the target event or has the room power level required to redact it. An account able to send redaction events is required, and exploitation deletes message content and disrupts room history.
