We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being +exploited in the wild. + +Security advisory +----------------- + +* A malicious homeserver could force Synapse to reset the state in a room to a + small subset of the correct state. This affects all Synapse deployments which + federate with untrusted servers. ([96e9afe6](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/96e9afe62500310977dc3cbc99a8d16d3d2fa15c)) +* HTML pages served via Synapse were vulnerable to clickjacking attacks. This + predominantly affects homeservers with single-sign-on enabled, but all server + administrators are encouraged to upgrade.
