CVE-2025-53549 (GCVE-0-2025-53549)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-07-10 18:28 – Updated: 2025-07-10 19:02

Title

Matrix Rust SDK allows SQL injection in the EventCache implementation

Summary

The Matrix Rust SDK is a collection of libraries that make it easier to build Matrix clients in Rust. An SQL injection vulnerability in the EventCache::find_event_with_relations method of matrix-sdk 0.11 and 0.12 allows malicious room members to execute arbitrary SQL commands in Matrix clients that directly pass relation types provided by those room members into this method, when used with the default sqlite-based store backend. Exploitation is unlikely, as no known clients currently use the API in this manner. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.13.

Severity ?

5.2 (Medium)

Summary

matrix-sdk-sqlite: SQL injection vulnerability in `SqliteEventCacheStore::find_event_with_relations`

Details

The SqliteEventCacheStore::find_event_with_relations function constructs SQL queries using format!() with unescaped input, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL. This results in a SQL injection vulnerability.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-07-10 17:41 – Updated: 2025-07-11 20:45

Summary

Matrix Rust SDK vulnerable to SQL Injection through its EventCache implementation

Details

An SQL injection vulnerability in the EventCache::find_event_with_relations method of matrix-sdk 0.11 and 0.12 allows malicious room members to execute arbitrary SQL commands in Matrix clients that directly pass relation types provided by those room members into this method, when used with the default sqlite-based store backend. Exploitation is unlikely, as no known clients currently use the API in this manner.

Workarounds

Passing only trusted (or sanitised) relation types to the filter argument of EventCache::find_event_with_relations() avoids the issue.

Patches

The issue is fixed in matrix-sdk 0.13.
