Description
### Impact matrix-js-sdk before 38.2.0 has insufficient validation of room predecessor links in `MatrixClient::getJoinedRooms`, allowing a remote attacker to attempt to replace a tombstoned room with an unrelated attacker-supplied room. ### Patches The issue has been patched and users should upgrade to 38.2.0. ### Workarounds Avoid using `MatrixClient::getJoinedRooms` in favour of `getRooms()` and filtering upgraded rooms separately.
