Versions prior to 1.95.1 and 1.96.0rc1 allow for the querying of cached device information of remote users, which can be used to enumerate the remote users known to a homeserver. To remediate this vulnerability, system administrators are encouraged to upgrade to Synapse 1.95.1 or 1.96.0rc1 in order to receive a patch.
