LOW 3.7

DescriptionCVE.org

Mattermost Plugins versions <=2.3.1 fail to limit the request body size on the {{/lifecycle}} webhook endpoint which allows an authenticated attacker to cause memory exhaustion and denial of service via sending an oversized JSON payload. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00610

AnalysisAI

Mattermost Plugins versions 2.3.1 and earlier allow unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger denial of service by sending oversized JSON payloads to the /lifecycle webhook endpoint, causing memory exhaustion due to missing request body size validation. CVSS 3.7 reflects low severity despite network accessibility; EPSS and active exploitation status not independently confirmed from available data.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability exists in the /lifecycle webhook endpoint within Mattermost Plugins, a critical component that processes lifecycle events for plugin management. The root cause is classified as CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling), indicating that the endpoint fails to enforce restrictions on the size of incoming request payloads. When an attacker sends a crafted JSON request body without size constraints, the server allocates memory to parse and buffer this data, exhausting available heap memory and triggering a denial of service condition. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:mattermost:mattermost:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* for all Mattermost installations running vulnerable Plugins versions.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Mattermost Plugins to a version greater than 2.3.1 to obtain the patch. Exact patched version numbers are not specified in the advisory reference provided; consult https://mattermost.com/security-updates (Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00610) for specific release versions and upgrade procedures. As an interim workaround pending patching, implement network-level rate limiting and request size limits (e.g., via reverse proxy or WAF rules) on the /lifecycle endpoint to reject payloads exceeding a reasonable threshold for legitimate webhook traffic. Additionally, restrict access to the /lifecycle endpoint to trusted sources if operationally feasible.
