1DescriptionCVE.org
Mattermost versions 11.7.x <= 11.7.2, 11.6.x <= 11.6.4, 10.11.x <= 10.11.19 fail to verify that the channel referenced in an action cookie matches the channel of the target post, which allows an authenticated user without access to a private channel to trigger interactive post actions on posts in that channel via a cookie obtained from any accessible channel.. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00690
AnalysisAI
Incorrect authorization in Mattermost's interactive post action handler allows authenticated users to trigger post actions in private channels they are not members of. The flaw stems from action cookies failing to bind to the specific channel of the target post - a cookie obtained from any accessible channel can be reused against posts in restricted private channels. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid authenticated Mattermost session (confirmed by PR:L in CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N indicates a network-exploitable flaw requiring only low-level authentication and no user interaction. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated Mattermost user with membership in at least one channel containing interactive post actions captures a valid action cookie from that channel. They then craft a POST request targeting a post ID located in a private channel they are not a member of, submitting the cross-channel cookie. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to a patched release above the affected version ceilings per the Mattermost advisory at https://mattermost.com/security-updates. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
