| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2024-2450 | HIGH | 8.8 | Mar 15, 2024 | Mattermost versions 8.1.x before 8.1.10, 9.2.x before 9.2.6, 9.3.x before 9.3.2, and 9.4.x before 9.4.3 fail to correctly verify account ownership when switching from email to SAML authentication, allowing an authenticated attacker to take over other user accounts via a crafted switch request under specific conditions. |
| CVE-2023-45316 | HIGH | 7.3 | Dec 12, 2023 | Mattermost fails to validate if a relative path is passed in /plugins/playbooks/api/v0/telemetry/run/<telem_run_id> as a telemetry run ID, allowing an attacker to use a path traversal payload that points to a different endpoint leading to a CSRF attack. |
| CVE-2023-6458 | HIGH | 7.1 | Dec 6, 2023 | Mattermost webapp fails to validate route parameters in/<TEAM_NAME>/channels/<CHANNEL_NAME> allowing an attacker to perform a client-side path traversal. |
| CVE-2025-55070 | MEDIUM | 6.5 | Nov 14, 2025 | Mattermost versions <11 fail to enforce multi-factor authentication on WebSocket connections which allows unauthenticated users to access sensitive information via WebSocket events |
| CVE-2024-2447 | MEDIUM | 6.5 | Apr 5, 2024 | Mattermost versions 8.1.x before 8.1.11, 9.3.x before 9.3.3, 9.4.x before 9.4.4, and 9.5.x before 9.5.2 fail to authenticate the source of certain types of post actions, allowing an authenticated attacker to create posts as other users via a crafted post action. |
| CVE-2023-46701 | MEDIUM | 6.5 | Dec 12, 2023 | Mattermost fails to perform authorization checks in the /plugins/playbooks/api/v0/runs/add-to-timeline-dialog endpoint of the Playbooks plugin allowing an attacker to get limited information about a post if they know the post ID |
| CVE-2024-2445 | MEDIUM | 6.1 | Mar 15, 2024 | Mattermost Jira plugin versions shipped with Mattermost versions 8.1.x before 8.1.10, 9.2.x before 9.2.6, 9.3.x before 9.3.2, and 9.4.x before 9.4.3 fail to escape user-controlled outputs when generating HTML pages, which allows an attacker to perform reflected cross-site scripting attacks against the users of the Mattermost server. |
| CVE-2024-32045 | MEDIUM | 5.9 | May 26, 2024 | Mattermost versions 9.5.x <= 9.5.3, 9.6.x <= 9.6.1, 8.1.x <= 8.1.12 fail to enforce proper access controls for channel and team membership when linking a playbook run to a channel which allows members to link their runs to private channels they were not members of. |
| CVE-2024-36255 | MEDIUM | 5.7 | May 26, 2024 | Mattermost versions 9.5.x <= 9.5.3, 9.6.x <= 9.6.1 and 8.1.x <= 8.1.12 fail to perform proper input validation on post actions which allows an attacker to run a playbook checklist task command as another user via creating and sharing a deceptive post action that unexpectedly runs a slash command in some arbitrary channel. |
| CVE-2025-27936 | MEDIUM | 5.3 | Apr 16, 2025 | Mattermost Plugin MSTeams versions <2.1.0 and Mattermost Server versions 10.5.x <=10.5.1 with the MS Teams plugin enabled fail to perform constant time comparison on a MSTeams plugin webhook secret which allows an attacker to retrieve the webhook secret of the MSTeams plugin via a timing attack during webhook secret comparison. |
| CVE-2023-6459 | MEDIUM | 5.3 | Dec 6, 2023 | Mattermost is grouping calls in the /metrics endpoint by id and reports that id in the response. Since this id is the channelID, the public /metrics endpoint is revealing channelIDs. |

| CVE-2024-5270 | MEDIUM | 4.3 | May 26, 2024 | Mattermost versions 9.5.x <= 9.5.3, 9.7.x <= 9.7.1, 9.6.x <= 9.6.1 and 8.1.x <= 8.1.12 fail to check if the email signup configuration option is enabled when a user requests to switch from SAML to Email. This allows the user to switch their authentication mail from SAML to email and possibly edit personal details that were otherwise non-editable and provided by the SAML provider. |
| CVE-2024-34152 | MEDIUM | 4.3 | May 26, 2024 | Mattermost versions 9.5.x <= 9.5.3, 9.6.x <= 9.6.1 and 8.1.x <= 8.1.12 fail to perform proper access control which allows a guest to get the metadata of a public playbook run that linked to the channel they are guest via sending an RHSRuns GraphQL query request to the server |

| CVE-2024-29215 | MEDIUM | 4.3 | May 26, 2024 | Mattermost versions 9.5.x <= 9.5.3, 9.7.x <= 9.7.1, 9.6.x <= 9.6.1, 8.1.x <= 8.1.12 fail to enforce proper access control which allows a user to run a slash command in a channel they are not a member of via linking a playbook run to that channel and running a slash command as a playbook task command. |
