# `UserIdentity::is_verified` not checking verification status of own user identity while performing the check
The `UserIdentity::is_verified()` method in the matrix-sdk-crypto crate before
version 0.7.2 doesn't take into account the verification status of the user's
own identity while performing the check and may as a result return a value
contrary to what is implied by its name and documentation.
## Impact
If the method is used to decide whether to perform sensitive operations towards
a user identity, a malicious homeserver could manipulate the outcome in order to
make the identity appear trusted. This is not a typical usage of the method,
which lowers the impact. The method itself is not used inside the
matrix-sdk-crypto crate.
