CVE-2026-63095
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedDendrite through 0.13.8 contains an improper authorization vulnerability in the Matrix Client-Server API that allows any authenticated local user to delete third-party identifier bindings belonging to other users by submitting an arbitrary address and medium to the account deletion endpoint without ownership verification. Attackers can exploit the unverified Forget3PID handler to remove a victim's email or MSISDN binding and subsequently rebind the address through an identity server to hijack the victim's password reset flow.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedDendrite 0.13.9 or later stable release
- 1. Identify the current Dendrite version running in your environment using system logs or package management tools.
- 2. Obtain the latest stable Dendrite release from the official Dendrite repository (github.com/matrix-org/dendrite).
- 3. Review the Dendrite release notes or changelog for version 0.13.9 or later to confirm the authorization fix for the Forget3PID handler vulnerability.
- 4. Plan a maintenance window for the upgrade, ensuring appropriate backups of configuration and database files exist.
- 5. Stop the Dendrite service before performing the upgrade.
- 6. Upgrade Dendrite to version 0.13.9 or the latest stable release that includes the security fix.
- 7. Verify the configuration files remain intact after upgrade.
- 8. Start the Dendrite service and monitor logs for any errors.

There is no version to upgrade to and no patch to apply. Every affected install stays exposed until the vendor ships a fix — or somebody else builds one.
Free. We build fixes in the order the community asks for them — and we’ll tell you the moment this one lands.
We develop and verify an original fix where the vendor hasn’t, from $1,600. Deployed to your staging first — never straight to production.
