SSB-DB version 20.0.0 has an information disclosure vulnerability. The get() method is supposed to only decrypt messages when you explicitly ask it to, but there is a bug where it's decrypting any message that it can. This means that it is returning the decrypted content of private messages, which a malicious peer could use to get access to private data. This only affects peers running SSB-DB@20.0.0 who also have private messages, and is only known to be exploitable if you're also running SSB-OOO (default in SSB-Server), which exposes a thin wrapper around get() to anonymous peers. This is fixed in version 20.0.1. Note that users of SSB-Server verion 16.0.0 should upgrade to 16.0.1 to get the fixed version of SSB-DB.

GHSA-mpgr-2cx9-327h — Information disclosure in SSB-DB

Affected: npm: ssb-db

### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_

Servers running SSB-DB 20.0.0 (which is packaged with SSB-Server 16.0.0) must upgrade immediately.

**There is no evidence that other SSB apps are vulnerable or that this problem has been exploited in the wild.**

### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_

Yes, please upgrade to SSB-DB 20.0.1 (or SSB-Server 16.0.1) immediately.

### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_

You may be able to disable the most obvious attack vector, SSB-OOO, by disabling the plugin, but you should upgrade immediately anyway.
