CVE-2024-52813: matrix-sdk-crypto missing facility to signal rotation of a verified cryptographic identity

January 7, 2025 (updated January 22, 2025)

Versions of the matrix-sdk-crypto Rust crate before 0.8.0 lack a dedicated mechanism to notify that a user’s cryptographic identity has changed from a verified to an unverified one, which could cause client applications relying on the SDK to overlook such changes.
