Mattermost versions 11.9.x <= 11.9.0, 11.8.x <= 11.8.4, 11.7.x <= 11.7.7, 10.11.x <= 10.11.22 fail to properly enforce the limit of concurrent files being processed and handled failed files, which allows a user with permission to upload files to spawn more goroutines than intended and block the indexing of other files via uploading heavy files constantly to the server.. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00696
