Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-17 15:30 – Updated: 2026-08-17 15:30

Details

Mattermost versions 11.7.x <= 11.7.6, 10.11.x <= 10.11.21, 11.8.x <= 11.8.3 fail to validate that users have read access to a channel before linking a board to it, which allows an authenticated attacker to discover the membership of private channels on the same team via creating, patching, importing, or bulk-creating boards with an arbitrary channelId. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00674

Severity

4.3 (Medium)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
