--- Comment #12 from Denis Kasak <dka...@termina.org.uk> ---
(In reply to Danilo G. Baio from comment #11)

The security implication is that this is a classic DoS attack. An attacker
sends a malformed event and breaks the application for other users, preventing
them to join.

Due to the federation, this is not limited to only the attacker's homeserver
but to also all other participating homeservers in the room with the malformed
event.

It definitely seems like a security issue to me, but I'm curious to hear your
opinion about it.
