Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver written and maintained by the
Matrix.org Foundation. Users were able to forge read receipts for any event
(if they knew the room ID and event ID). Note that the users were not able
to view the events, but simply mark it as read. This could be confusing as
clients will show the event as read by the user, even if they are not in
the room. This issue has been patched in version 1.93.0. Users are advised
to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
