matrix-sdk-crypto contains a log exposure of private key of the server-side key backup
Summary
Vulnerability reported (CVE-2024-34353). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via tracing.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
The matrix-sdk-crypto crate, part of the Matrix Rust SDK project, is an implementation of a Matrix end-to-end encryption state machine in Rust. In Matrix, the server-side key backup stores encrypted copies of Matrix message keys. This facilitates key sharing between a user's devices and provides a redundant copy in case all devices are lost. The key backup uses asymmetric
cryptography, with each server-side key backup assigned a unique public-private key pair. Due to a logic bug introduced in commit 71136e44c03c79f80d6d1a2446673bc4d53a2067, matrix-sdk-crypto version 0.7.0 will sometimes log the private part of the backup key pair to Rust debug logs (using the tracing crate). This issue has been resolved in matrix-sdk-crypto version 0.7.1. No known workarounds are available.

CVE-2024-34353 — CWE-532
Attack vector: local / no user interaction
Attack surface: tracing
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (CWE-532) has been reported. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via tracing.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions. Attack surface: tracing.
Severity: ?. Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
