matrix-js-sdk is a Matrix messaging protocol Client-Server SDK for
JavaScript. In versions prior to 19.4.0 events sent with special strings in
key places can temporarily disrupt or impede the matrix-js-sdk from
functioning properly, potentially impacting the consumer’s ability to
process data safely. Note that the matrix-js-sdk can appear to be operating
normally but be excluding or corrupting runtime data presented to the
consumer. This issue has been fixed in matrix-js-sdk 19.4.0 and users are
advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may mitigate this issue by
redacting applicable events, waiting for the sync processor to store data,
and restarting the client. Alternatively, redacting the applicable events
and clearing all storage will often fix most perceived issues. In some
cases, no workarounds are possible.
