DescriptionCVE.org

Mattermost versions 11.7.x <= 11.7.6, 10.11.x <= 10.11.21 fail to enforce run-state validation on write operations for finished playbook runs which allows a run participant to modify status, checklists, retrospective content, ownership, and participants on completed runs via REST and GraphQL API requests. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00675

AnalysisAI

Mattermost's Playbooks feature in versions 11.7.x through 11.7.6 and 10.11.x through 10.11.21 omits run-state enforcement on API write operations, allowing any authenticated run participant to alter completed playbook runs via REST and GraphQL endpoints. An attacker with low privileges can overwrite status, checklists, retrospective content, ownership, and participant lists on runs that should be immutable once finished, undermining post-incident audit integrity. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three specific conditions: (1) the attacker must hold a valid Mattermost user account with at least low-privilege access (PR:L per CVSS); (2) the attacker must be listed as a participant in the specific playbook run being targeted - arbitrary runs belonging to other teams cannot be targeted without participant membership; and (3) the targeted playbook run must be in a finished/completed state. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N accurately characterizes this as a medium-severity, low-complexity, authenticated network vulnerability. … 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 Apply the vendor-released security updates documented at https://mattermost.com/security-updates. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
