Mattermost Plugin Legal Hold versions <=1.1.4 fail to halt request processing after a failed authorization check in ServeHTTP which allows an authenticated attacker to access, create, download, and delete legal hold data via crafted API requests to the plugin's endpoints. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00621
AnalysisAI
Authorization bypass in Mattermost Plugin Legal Hold versions <=1.1.4 allows authenticated attackers to manipulate legal hold data without proper permission validation. After failed authorization checks, the plugin continues processing requests instead of terminating them, enabling low-privileged authenticated users to access, create, download, and delete sensitive legal hold data through direct API calls. …
