1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated Mattermost account AND an enabled/configured Jira integration plugin to which the attacker has access, plus the ability to attach Mattermost posts as comments to Jira issues - the feature where channel membership is not validated. The attacker gains read access to post content and attachments from channels they are not a member of. Limiting factors: the Jira plugin must be installed and enabled (not a default-everywhere configuration), the attacker must hold valid credentials (PR:L, so not anonymous/remote-unauthenticated), impact is confined to confidentiality of posts routed through the Jira-comment feature, and only the listed vulnerable version ranges (11.1.x ≤ 11.1.0, 11.0.x ≤ 11.0.5, 10.12.x ≤ 10.12.3, 10.11.x ≤ 10.11.7) are affected. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely moderate-severity authorization flaw, not an inflated high-CVSS issue - the CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects limited real-world risk: network-reachable and low-complexity, but requiring an authenticated account and yielding only low confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, SSVC decision data, or public POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; exploitation probability signals are absent rather than low. The limiting factor not captured by the raw score is that the Jira integration plugin must be installed and enabled and the attacker must already have access to it, which narrows the exploitable population to organizations using that specific integration. Net: a real but bounded data-confidentiality concern (CWE-863 broken access control) best prioritized as routine patching rather than emergency response, absent any exploitation telemetry. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged but authenticated Mattermost user who has access to the Jira plugin attaches Mattermost posts as comments to a Jira issue; because channel membership is not validated, they can reference and read post content and attachments from private channels they are not a member of. No public exploit code was identified, and exploitation requires a valid account plus an enabled Jira integration. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 19, 2026
Mattermost Server versions 10.11.x through 11.1.0 contain an authorization bypass in the Jira plugin's post-to-comment feature that lets an authenticated user read posts and attachments from channels they are not allowed to access. Exploitation requires a valid Mattermost account and an enabled/configured Jira integration where posts can be attached as Jira comments, with impact limited to confidentiality of exposed post content; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 reflects a moderate issue rather than a high-severity breach.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; monitor https://mattermost.com/security-updates for fixed Mattermost Server releases in the 11.1.x, 11.0.x, 10.12.x, and 10.11.x branches, and upgrade to the first patched version published for your branch when available. Until a patch is applied, disable the Jira integration plugin entirely if Jira comment synchronization is not business-critical (trade-off: loss of all Jira plugin functionality for Mattermost users), or restrict plugin access to a minimal set of trusted accounts (trade-off: reduces exposure but does not eliminate risk if those accounts are compromised). Where configuration permits, remove the ability to attach Mattermost posts as Jira comments until the server is patched (trade-off: limits the Jira integration's usefulness), and audit existing Jira issues for Mattermost post content or attachments that may have been exposed through this authorization flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) in Mattermost Server's Jira integration plugin, which bridges Mattermost posts into Atlassian Jira issue comments. When a user attaches a Mattermost post as a Jira comment, the plugin fails to validate that the requesting user is a member of the channel containing that post, allowing the post body and attachments to be serialized into the Jira comment and read by the attacker. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N confirms network reachability, low attack complexity, authenticated privileges (PR:L), no user interaction, and only low confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect. The CPE entries identify the affected platform as cpe:2.3:a:mattermost:mattermost_server across the vulnerable version ranges; the Jira plugin must be installed and enabled for exploitation, so default deployments without that integration are not exposed through this path.

Authenticated user abuses the Jira-comment feature over the network (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N); only confidentiality of restricted posts is affected (C:L, I:N, A:N) with no scope change.

DescriptionCVE.org
Mattermost versions 11.1.x <= 11.1.0, 11.0.x <= 11.0.5, 10.12.x <= 10.12.3, 10.11.x <= 10.11.7 fails to validate user channel membership when attaching Mattermost posts as comments to Jira issues, which allows an authenticated attacker with access to the Jira plugin to read post content and attachments from channels they do not have access to.
