2DescriptionCVE.org
Mattermost versions 10.5.x <= 10.5.5, 9.11.x <= 9.11.15, 10.8.x <= 10.8.0, 10.7.x <= 10.7.2, 10.6.x <= 10.6.5 fail to sanitize filenames in the archive extractor which allows authenticated users to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem via uploading archives with path traversal sequences in filenames, potentially leading to remote code execution. The vulnerability impacts instances where file uploads and document search by content is enabled (FileSettings.EnableFileAttachments = true and FileSettings.ExtractContent = true). These configuration settings are enabled by default.
Executive ViewAI
A critical vulnerability in Mattermost allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary code on affected servers by uploading specially crafted archive files. This impacts all organizations running vulnerable versions with default configurations, potentially enabling attackers to compromise servers, steal data, and disrupt communications.
Disable FileSettings.EnableFileAttachments or FileSettings.ExtractContent in configuration; implement network segmentation to restrict Mattermost access; deploy WAF rules to block archive uploads; restrict file upload permissions to specific user roles; monitor for suspicious file uploads and filesystem activity; consider disabling Mattermost until patch is available.
Threat Intelligence Overview
How this decision was reached
The engine reads each signal below and applies a fixed list of rules from top to bottom. The first rule that matches sets the recommended action – like a statement, every line is shown.

SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
