AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Network-positioned MITM downgrade fits adjacent AV:A and AC:H; authenticated user (PR:L) must click a link (UI:R); only content integrity is affected (I:L, C:N/A:N).

Mattermost Desktop App versions <=6.2 6.2.2.0 fail to validate the URL scheme when checking whether a target URL is internal to the connected server, which allows a network-positioned attacker to load a plugin popout window over an insecure connection via a link using a downgraded URL scheme. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00717
AnalysisAI
Mattermost Desktop App versions up to and including 6.2.2.0 fail to validate the URL scheme when deciding whether a link points to an internal server resource, so a network-positioned attacker who can intercept and downgrade the connection can make the client open a plugin popout window over an insecure (non-TLS) connection. Exploitation is narrow: it requires a man-in-the-middle position capable of forcing the scheme downgrade, an authenticated user of the affected client (PR:L per the CVSS vector), and that user clicking a crafted internal link (UI:R), which is why the vendor and independent scoring both land in the low range (vendor 2.6; independently assessed AV:A/AC:H). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires a network-positioned (man-in-the-middle) attacker able to intercept and downgrade the connection between the Mattermost Desktop App (versions <=6.2.2.0) and its connected server. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuinely low-priority issue, and the signals are consistent rather than conflicting. … 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 | No fixed desktop client version is identified in the provided intelligence set, so the primary action is to treat 6.2.2.0 and earlier as vulnerable, monitor the Mattermost security updates page (https://mattermost.com/security-updates) for the MMSA-2026-00717 advisory and its patched desktop release, and roll the corrected client out as soon as it is published - desktop apps are typically auto-updating, so verify the deployed version rather than assuming the update landed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
