CVE-2023-41335 affects Synapse, an open-source Matrix homeserver, where newly updated user passwords are temporarily stored in the server database for up to 48 hours. This vulnerability, rated as LOW severity (CVSS 3.7), stems from an unexpected storage practice that could lead to passwords being captured in database backups, potentially exposing them. While the server already handles passwords during authentication, this issue violates the expectation of non-storage. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
