Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver. In Synapse versions before 1.120.1, enabling the dynamic_thumbnails option or processing a specially crafted request could trigger the decoding and thumbnail generation of uncommon image formats, potentially invoking external tools like Ghostscript for processing. This significantly expands the attack surface in a historically vulnerable area, presenting a risk that far outweighs the benefit, particularly since these formats are rarely used on the open web or within the Matrix ecosystem. Synapse 1.120.1 addresses the issue by restricting thumbnail generation to images in the following widely used formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.120.1.
The ZoomSounds plugin before 6.05 contains a PHP file allowing unauthenticated users to upload an arbitrary file anywhere on the web server.
The User Profile Builder WordPress plugin before 3.11.8 does not have proper authorisation, allowing unauthenticated users to upload media files via the async upload functionality of WP.
