matrix-sdk-crypto before 0.16.1 fails to verify the sender's user ID when decrypting an Olm-encrypted to-device message that contains the sender_device_keys property. Because sender binding is incomplete in this code path, a malicious actor can cause the recipient to accept a forged sender identity for an encrypted to-device message. The issue affects the Matrix Rust SDK crypto crate distributed via crates.io and is tracked as GHSA-wfq4-36m3-9g42.
