MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires (1) an authenticated account that is a member of a channel, and (2) the presence of interactive-message posts created via action integrations (interactive messages/buttons backed by server-side webhook URLs and secrets) in that channel. The attacker obtains the secrets by observing the post_deleted websocket event broadcast on post deletion, or by reading the threads REST API response, both of which fail to strip the action integration secret. Limiting factors: the attacker must be authenticated (PR:L - not remote-unauthenticated) and must have legitimate access to a channel that actually uses interactive integrations; deployments with no action integrations are not exposed, and the flaw yields confidentiality loss only (no direct integrity/availability impact). |
| Impact | This is a credible but moderate-severity information-disclosure issue rather than an urgent emergency. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N = 6.5) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only low-privilege authentication (PR:L) and no user interaction, with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact - consistent with CWE-200 and the description's leak of webhook URLs and authentication context. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; the realistic risk is therefore driven by ease of exploitation by an insider/authenticated member rather than by mass opportunistic attacks. The signals are internally consistent - the CVSS confidentiality-only profile matches an information-disclosure CWE and a vendor-reported secret-leakage flaw - so there is no conflict to flag. The main caveat is the absence of exploitation-probability data (no EPSS) and vendor-only sourcing, meaning widespread exploitation cannot be confirmed or ruled out. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated member of a Mattermost channel that contains interactive-message (action integration) posts deletes such a post or opens the thread via the API, and observes the post_deleted websocket event or threads REST response, which still contains the action integration secret. Using the leaked server-side webhook URL and authentication context, the attacker can then impersonate or invoke the integration. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, but exploitation is low-complexity for any channel member. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 16, 2026
Information disclosure in Mattermost (versions 11.7.x through 11.7.9, 11.8.x through 11.8.5, 11.9.x through 11.9.1, and 11.10.0) allows an authenticated member of a channel to recover the server-side webhook URLs and authentication secrets embedded in interactive-message posts. The server fails to strip action integration secrets before broadcasting the post_deleted WebSocket event and before returning thread API responses, so a channel member who deletes or observes deletion of an interactive-message post - or simply reads the threads REST API - can harvest credentials intended to stay server-side. Exploitation requires a valid authenticated account with membership in a channel that actually uses interactive message/action integrations, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; the issue is a moderate-severity confidentiality exposure rather than an urgent emergency, with an assessed CVSS of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data, so treat the Mattermost security updates page (https://mattermost.com/security-updates, advisory MMSA-2026-00766) as the authoritative source for the fixed release and apply the vendor-supplied upgrade for the 11.7.x, 11.8.x, 11.9.x, or 11.10.x branch as soon as it is published. Until then, prioritize compensating controls that remove the exposure path: rotate the integration secrets and regenerate the server-side webhook URLs for every action integration in use, since any secret already transmitted through a post_deleted WebSocket event or a threads API response must be considered compromised - the trade-off is that downstream services consuming those webhooks must be reconfigured in the same change window or their callbacks will fail. Restrict channel membership so only trusted users can join channels that contain interactive-message posts, because exploitation requires authenticated membership in an affected channel; this reduces the attacker pool but does not eliminate risk from insiders or compromised accounts. Where interactive message/action integrations are not operationally required, disable them entirely, accepting the loss of button-driven workflow functionality. Audit historical and current posts for embedded integration secrets and, where possible, avoid placing sensitive callback credentials in action definitions that can be surfaced via thread API responses. Finally, monitor for unexpected requests to internal or third-party integration endpoints, which would indicate that leaked webhook URLs and authentication context are being used by an unauthorized party.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Mattermost is a collaboration platform whose interactive message actions (message buttons) are backed by server-side integrations: an action can be configured with an integration URL and secret that the Mattermost server uses to call back out to a third-party service or webhook endpoint. Those integration parameters are stored in the post's props and are meant to remain server-side, never exposed to clients. Per the advisory, versions 11.10.x <= 11.10.0, 11.7.x <= 11.7.9, 11.9.x <= 11.9.1, and 11.8.x <= 11.8.5 fail to strip the action integration secrets from post payloads on two output paths: the post_deleted WebSocket event broadcast to channel members when a post is removed, and the threads REST API responses. The root cause class is CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) - insufficient sanitization of an internal data structure before serialization to client-visible channels. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:mattermost:mattermost:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected component is the core Mattermost server product (Mattermost Advisory ID MMSA-2026-00766). Because the leaked values are webhook URLs and their authentication context, disclosure can enable follow-on abuse of the downstream integration endpoints that trust those credentials.
