From 8e64c5a24c26a733c0cfd3e997ea4079ae457096 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Hodgson Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2020 09:36:23 +0000 Subject: filter out m.room.aliases from the CS API until a better solution is specced (#6878) We're in the middle of properly mitigating spam caused by malicious aliases being added to a room. However, until this work fully lands, we temporarily filter out all m.room.aliases events from /sync and /messages on the CS API, to remove abusive aliases. This is considered acceptable as m.room.aliases events were never a reliable record of the given alias->id mapping and were purely informational, and in their current state do more harm than good. --- changelog.d/6878.feature | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 changelog.d/6878.feature (limited to 'changelog.d/6878.feature') diff --git a/changelog.d/6878.feature b/changelog.d/6878.feature new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..af3e958a43 --- /dev/null +++ b/changelog.d/6878.feature @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Filter out m.room.aliases from the CS API to mitigate abuse while a better solution is specced. -- cgit 1.5.1
