Mattermost Authorization and Validation

Mattermost server versions 10.11.x through 11.4.x fail to validate decompressed archive entry sizes during ZIP file extraction, allowing authenticated users with file upload permissions to trigger denial of service by uploading crafted zip bombs that exhaust server memory. The vulnerability affects Mattermost 10.11.0-10.11.11, 11.2.0-11.2.3, 11.3.0-11.3.1, and 11.4.0, with CVSS 6.5 (medium) reflecting the requirement for prior authentication and limited scope (availability impact only). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the attack vector is network-accessible and requires low complexity once an attacker has valid upload credentials.

Mattermost versions 11.2.x through 11.2.2, 10.11.x through 10.11.10, 11.4.0, and 11.3.x through 11.3.1 fail to properly restrict team-level access during remote cluster membership synchronization, allowing a malicious remote cluster to grant users access to entire private teams rather than limiting access to only shared channels. An authenticated attacker controlling a federated remote cluster can send crafted membership sync messages to trigger unintended team membership assignment, resulting in unauthorized access to private team resources. The EPSS score of 0.03% (percentile 7%) indicates low real-world exploitation probability, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

Mattermost bulk export functionality fails to apply proper file permissions, allowing unprivileged local users on affected servers to read sensitive exported data. Mattermost versions 11.4.0, 11.3.x through 11.3.1, 11.2.x through 11.2.3, and 10.11.x through 10.11.11 are vulnerable (CVE-2026-3113, MMSA-2026-00593). An authenticated local attacker with login credentials can access bulk export files created by other users, leading to unauthorized information disclosure of potentially sensitive team and channel communications. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and CISA has not listed this in the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, though the vulnerability's automatable nature and low attack complexity warrant prompt patching.

Mattermost versions 11.2.x through 11.4.x fail to enforce view restrictions on group member endpoints, allowing authenticated guest users to enumerate user IDs beyond their authorized visibility scope. This authorization bypass requires valid credentials but enables attackers to discover internal user information through the group retrieval API. No patch is currently available for affected versions.
