Monal before 4.9 does not implement proper sender verification on MAM and Message Carbon (XEP-0280) results. This allows a remote attacker (able to send stanzas to a victim) to inject arbitrary messages into the local history, with full control over the sender and receiver displayed to the victim.

Weakness

The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data.
