Mattermost Plugins versions <=11.8 10.20.11 11.5.7.0 _The Mattermost GitLab plugin fails to verify channel permissions when processing API requests with a caller-supplied_ {{post_id}}_, and fails to validate the_ {{web_url}} _parameter against the configured GitLab instance, which allows an authenticated attacker to inject bot-authored messages containing arbitrary URLs into channels they do not have access to via the_ {{createIssue}} _and_ {{attachCommentToIssue}} _API endpoints._ Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00673
AnalysisAI
Unauthorized message injection in the Mattermost GitLab Plugin (<=11.8) allows authenticated users to post bot-authored messages containing arbitrary URLs into restricted channels by exploiting two missing authorization checks: channel permission verification on the caller-supplied post_id parameter, and GitLab instance validation of the web_url parameter. Exploitation targets the createIssue and attachCommentToIssue API endpoints without requiring elevated privileges. …
