matrix-sdk-crypto missing facility to signal rotation of a verified cryptographic identity
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| crates.io | matrix-sdk-crypto | < 0.8.0 | 0.8.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Versions of the matrix-sdk-crypto Rust crate before 0.8.0 lack a dedicated mechanism to notify that a user's cryptographic identity has changed from a verified to an unverified one, which could cause client applications relying on the SDK to overlook such changes.
### Patches
matrix-sdk-crypto 0.8.0 adds a new `VerificationLevel::VerificationViolation` enum variant which indicates that a previously verified identity has been changed.
