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 parse Markdown autolinks with unmatched trailing closing parentheses in linear time, which allows an authenticated user with permission to create posts to cause excessive server CPU consumption and degrade availability for other users via specially crafted post or message attachment content. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00703
AnalysisAI
Mattermost's server-side Markdown autolink parser processes autolinks with unmatched trailing closing parentheses in superlinear time, enabling any authenticated user with post-creation rights to cause excessive CPU consumption and degrade availability for all users on the instance. Affected release trains are 11.9.x through 11.9.0, 11.8.x through 11.8.4, 11.7.x through 11.7.7, and 10.11.x through 10.11.22 across both cloud and self-hosted deployments. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid, authenticated Mattermost user account with the 'Create Posts' permission granted (PR:L per CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD-assigned CVSS 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) accurately reflects the limited impact envelope of this flaw: network-reachable, low authentication barrier, but constrained to partial availability degradation with no confidentiality or integrity implications. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to upgrade Mattermost to a patched release beyond the affected version ceiling in the applicable branch (11.9.x, 11.8.x, 11.7.x, or 10.11.x). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
