Two security issues have been discovered in prosody:

• CVE-2021-32917

  The proxy65 component allows open access by default, even if neither of the users has an XMPP account on the local server, allowing unrestricted use of the server's bandwidth.

• CVE-2021-32921

  Authentication module does not use a constant-time algorithm for comparing certain secret strings when running under Lua 5.2 or later. This can potentially be used in a timing attack to reveal the contents of secret strings to an attacker.
