Mattermost versions 11.8.x <= 11.8.2, 11.7.x <= 11.7.6, 10.11.x <= 10.11.21 fail to restrict channel member role assignment to channel-scoped roles which allows a channel administrator to gain additional channel permissions via the channel member roles API.. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00697
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Mattermost's channel administration API allows authenticated channel administrators to assign non-channel-scoped roles to channel members, exceeding their intended authorization boundary. Three active release lines are affected: 10.11.x through 10.11.21, 11.7.x through 11.7.6, and 11.8.x through 11.8.2. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated Mattermost account with the channel administrator role assigned within at least one channel - corresponding to PR:L in the CVSS vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 6.3 Medium score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) reflects a network-accessible, low-complexity attack requiring only channel administrator authentication, with limited CIA impact confined to the channel scope - a reasonable assessment for an intra-platform privilege escalation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to a patched Mattermost release per vendor advisory MMSA-2026-00697, available at https://mattermost.com/security-updates; specific fixed version numbers are not independently confirmed from the available data beyond the affected ranges, so administrators should consult the advisory directly to identify the minimum safe version for their release line. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
