GHSA-vc7j-h8xg-fv5x matrix-appservice-bridge doesn't verify the sub parameter of an openId token exhange, allowing unauthorized access to provisioning APIs

• npm matrix-appservice-bridge: >= 4.0.0, < 8.1.2 → fixed in 8.1.2 • npm matrix-appservice-bridge: >= 9.0.0, < 9.0.1 → fixed in 9.0.1

Impact A malicious Matrix server can use a foreign user's MXID in an OpenID exchange, allowing a bad actor to impersonate users when using the provisioning API. Details The library does not check that the servername part of the `sub` parameter (containing the user's *claimed* MXID) is the same as the servername we are talking to. A malicious actor could spin up a server on any given domain, respond with a `sub` parameter according to the user they want to act as and use the resulting token to perform provisioning requests. Workarounds Disable the provisioning API. If the bridge does not use the provisioning API, you are not vulnerable.
