Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Prosody versions prior to 0.9.10

Description The issue arises from the generate dialback function in the mod dialback module, which fails to properly separate fields when generating dialback keys. This allows remote attackers to spoof XMPP network domains by crafting a stream id and domain name that is included in the target domain as a suffix.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.9.10, update to version 0.9.10 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the mod dialback module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
