+## (Compatibility Break / Security Issue) Disabling User Directory search powered by the ma1sd Identity Server
+
+User Directory search requests used to go to the ma1sd identity server by default, which queried its own stores and the Synapse database.
+
+ma1sd current has [a security issue](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/issues/44), which made it leak information about all users - including users created by bridges, etc.
+
+Until the issue gets fixed, we're making User Directory search not go to ma1sd by default. You **need to re-run the playbook and restart services to apply this workaround**.
+
+*If you insist on restoring the old behavior* (**which has a security issue!**), you *might* use this configuration: `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_user_directory_search_enabled: "{{ matrix_ma1sd_enabled }}"`
