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 | Mattermost Plugins version ≤2.0.3.0 with support packet generation enabled. Attacker requires high-level administrative access (PR:H) to generate or access exported support packets containing plugin configuration. |
| Impact | While the CVSS score of 7.6 indicates high severity, the real-world risk is significantly mitigated by the requirement for high privileges (PR:H) and the specific attack scenario requiring access to support packets. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), but the prerequisite of already having high privileges substantially reduces the likelihood of exploitation. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or known proof-of-concept exists, suggesting minimal real-world exploitation activity. The changed scope (S:C) indicates potential impact beyond the vulnerable component, but the practical exploitation barrier of requiring legitimate high-privilege access makes this a lower priority than the CVSS score suggests. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with legitimate high-privilege access to a Mattermost instance could generate or request access to support packets, then extract unmasked sensitive configuration values from the exported data, potentially obtaining API keys, database credentials, or authentication tokens used by various plugins. The attack requires no user interaction and can be executed remotely once the attacker has obtained the necessary privileges, making insider threats or compromised administrator accounts the primary risk vectors. No public proof-of-concept exists, but exploitation would be straightforward for anyone with the requisite access level. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 16, 2026
A sensitive information disclosure vulnerability in Mattermost Plugins versions 2.0.3.0 and earlier fails to properly mask sensitive configuration values in support packets, allowing attackers with high privileges to extract original plugin settings from exported configuration data. The vulnerability requires authenticated access with high privileges (CVSS 7.6) and enables attackers to obtain sensitive configuration data that should be masked, potentially exposing API keys, credentials, or other sensitive plugin configurations. No active exploitation or proof-of-concept has been reported, and the vulnerability requires significant access privileges to exploit.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Mattermost Plugins to a version newer than 2.0.3.0 as recommended in Mattermost security advisory MMSA-2026-00606 available at https://mattermost.com/security-updates. As an immediate mitigation, restrict access to support packet generation functionality to only essential personnel and implement additional access controls around diagnostic export features. Organizations should audit existing support packets for potential exposure of sensitive configuration data and rotate any credentials that may have been inadvertently exposed through previously generated support packets.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability affects Mattermost Plugins as identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:mattermost:mattermost:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, specifically versions up to and including 2.0.3.0. The root cause is CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor), which occurs when the software exposes sensitive information through observable discrepancies in behavior, response times, or resource consumption. In this case, the plugin framework fails to properly sanitize or mask sensitive configuration values when generating support packets, which are diagnostic exports typically used for troubleshooting that should redact sensitive data before sharing.

2DescriptionCVE.org
Mattermost Plugins versions <=2.0.3.0 fail to properly mask sensitive configuration values which allows an attacker with access to support packets to obtain original plugin settings via exported configuration data. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00606
Executive ViewAI
A vulnerability in Mattermost Plugins versions 2.0.3.0 and earlier could allow privileged users to extract sensitive configuration data (API keys, credentials) from support packets that should be masked. While exploitation requires high-level administrative access and no active attacks have been reported, organizations using affected versions face potential credential compromise if an insider threat or compromised admin account is present.
Disable or restrict support packet export functionality to only critical operations personnel. Implement privileged access management (PAM) controls to limit which administrators can generate and access support packets. Enable comprehensive audit logging for all configuration data exports. Conduct access reviews of users with high-privilege roles in Mattermost. Implement network segmentation to restrict access to Mattermost administrative interfaces.
