{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"CVE-2023-32682","aliases":["GHSA-26c5-ppr8-f33p","PYSEC-2023-84","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-32682","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-32682"],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"Synapse is a Matrix protocol homeserver written in Python with the Twisted framework. In affected versions it may be possible for a deactivated user to login when using uncommon configurations. This only applies if any of the following are true: 1. JSON Web Tokens are enabled for login via the `jwt_config.enabled` configuration setting. 2. The local password database is enabled via the `password_config.enabled` and `password_config.localdb_enabled` configuration settings *and* a user's password is updated via an admin API after a user is deactivated. Note that the local password database is enabled by default, but it is uncommon to set a user's password after they've been deactivated. Installations that are configured to only allow login via Single Sign-On (SSO) via CAS, SAML or OpenID Connect (OIDC); or via an external password provider (e.g. LDAP) are not affected. If not using JSON Web Tokens, ensure that deactivated users do not have a password set. This issue has been addressed in version 1.85.0. Users are advised to upgrade.","dates":{"published":"2023-06-06T18:20:14.377Z","modified":"2025-02-13T16:54:57.207Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","computed":false,"selection":"backend-summary"},"metrics":[{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","score":5.4,"severity":"medium","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false},{"version":"4.0","versionLabel":"v4.0","source":"OSV
