Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MUTE version 0.4

Description The issue allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, including privacy leak and search result data, by controlling a drop chain neighbor near the end of a message chain. This is due to the use of improper flood protection algorithms.

Recommendations For version 0.4, consider implementing proper flood protection algorithms to prevent remote attackers from obtaining sensitive information. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the message chain to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
