Mattermost versions 11.9.x <= 11.9.0, 11.8.x <= 11.8.4, 11.7.x <= 11.7.8, 10.11.x <= 10.11.22 fail to limit the nesting depth in the server-side Markdown parser which allows an authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service (CPU resource exhaustion) via a crafted post containing deeply nested blockquotes or list items.. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00707
AnalysisAI
Mattermost's server-side Markdown parser across versions 10.11.x through 11.9.0 fails to enforce a nesting depth limit, allowing any authenticated user to cause CPU resource exhaustion by posting a message containing pathologically deep blockquote or list item nesting. The vulnerability is classified CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity), producing a denial-of-service condition that degrades availability for all users of the affected instance. …
