Overview

cinny is a Yet another matrix client

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Origin Validation Error in the process that handles emoji pack avatar URLs in the service worker. An attacker can obtain a victim's access token by crafting a malicious emote pack with an attacker-controlled avatar URL and sharing it in a room where the victim is present. When the victim opens the emoji or sticker picker, their client sends the access token to the attacker's server via an outbound GET request containing specific Matrix media path fragments.
