Unauthorized Guest user access to Playbook

Mattermost versions 10.5.x <= 10.5.5, 9.11.x <= 9.11.15, 10.8.x <= 10.8.0, 10.7.x <= 10.7.2, 10.6.x <= 10.6.5 fail to properly retrieve requestorInfo from playbooks handler for guest users which allows an attacker access to the playbook run.

Mattermost Playbooks allows privilege escalation through improper access control in playbook run participant management

Mattermost versions 10.5.x <= 10.5.5, 9.11.x <= 9.11.15, 10.8.x <= 10.8.0, 10.7.x <= 10.7.2, 10.6.x <= 10.6.5 fail to properly enforce channel member management permissions when adding participants to playbook runs. This allows authenticated users with member-level permissions to bypass system admin restrictions and add or remove users to/from private channels via the playbook run participants feature, even when the 'Manage Members' permission has been explicitly removed. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive channel content and allow guest users to gain channel management privileges.

Mattermost Playbooks exposes private channel metadata to unauthorized users via run metadata API

Mattermost versions 10.5.x <= 10.5.5, 9.11.x <= 9.11.15, 10.8.x <= 10.8.0, 10.7.x <= 10.7.2, 10.6.x <= 10.6.5 fail to properly validate channel membership when retrieving playbook run metadata, allowing authenticated users who are playbook members but not channel members to access sensitive information about linked private channels including channel name, display name, and participant count through the run metadata API endpoint.

Details of archived public channels are leaked to members of another team

Mattermost fails to properly verify the permissions needed for viewing archived public channels,  allowing a member of one team to get details about the archived public channels of another team via the GET /api/v4/teams/<team-id>/channels/deleted endpoint.

Lack of restriction to manage group names for freshly demoted guests

Mattermost fails to update the permissions of the current session for a user who was just demoted to guest, allowing freshly demoted guests to change group names.

Keywords that trigger mentions are leaked to other users

Mattermost fails to scope the WebSocket response around notified users to a each user separately resulting in the WebSocket broadcasting the information about who was notified about a post to everyone else in the channel.

Reflected client side path traversal leading to CSRF in Playbooks

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.

Leak Inaccessible Playbook Information via Channel Action IDOR

Mattermost fails to perform correct authorization checks when creating a playbook action, allowing users without access to the playbook to create playbook actions. If the playbook action created is to post a message in a channel based on specific keywords in a post, some playbook information, like the name, can be leaked. 

Playbooks access/modification by removed team member

Mattermost fails to validate team membership when a user attempts to access a playbook, allowing a user with permissions to a playbook but no permissions to the team the playbook is on to access and modify the playbook. This can happen if the user was once a member of the team, got permissions to the playbook and was then removed from the team. 

mattermost: fail to fully validate role changes which allows an attacker authenticated as team admin to demote users to guest

Mattermost versions 9.6.0, 9.5.x before 9.5.3, and 8.1.x before 8.1.12 fail to fully validate role changes which allows an attacker authenticated as team admin to demote users to guest via crafted HTTP requests.

mattermost: fail to fully validate role changes leading to promote guests to team admins

Mattermost versions 9.6.0, 9.5.x before 9.5.3, and 8.1.x before 8.1.12 fail to fully validate role changes, which allows an attacker authenticated as a team admin to promote guests to team admins via crafted HTTP requests.

mattermost: fail to limit the number of active sessions

Mattermost versions 8.1.x before 8.1.12, 9.6.x before 9.6.1, 9.5.x before 9.5.3, 9.4.x before 9.4.5 fail to limit the number of active sessions, which allows an authenticated attacker to crash the server via repeated requests to the getSessions API after flooding the sessions table.

mattermost: fail to handle JSON parsing errors in custom status values

Mattermost versions 9.6.0, 9.5.x before 9.5.3, 9.4.x before 9.4.5, and 8.1.x before 8.1.12 fail to handle JSON parsing errors in custom status values, which allows an authenticated attacker to crash other users' web clients via a malformed custom status.

Detailed error discloses full file path with dev mode off

Mattermost versions 9.6.x <= 9.6.0, 9.5.x <= 9.5.2, 9.4.x <= 9.4.4 and 8.1.x <= 8.1.11 fail to remove detailed error messages in API requests even if the developer mode is off which allows an attacker to get information about the server such as the full path were files are stored

Excessive resource consumption due to lack to request path size limits

Mattermost versions 8.1.x <= 8.1.10, 9.6.x <= 9.6.0, 9.5.x <= 9.5.2 and 8.1.x <= 8.1.11 fail to limit the size of a request path that includes user inputs which allows an attacker to cause excessive resource consumption, possibly leading to a DoS via sending large request paths

Existing server guests invited to the team by members without "invite_guest" permission

Mattermost fails to check the "invite_guest" permission when inviting guests of other teams to a team, allowing a member with permissions to add other members but not to add guests to add a guest to a team as long as the guest was already a guest in another team of the server

Files of archived channels accessible with the “Allow users to view archived channels” option disabled

Mattermost fails to properly restrict the access of files attached to posts in an archived channel, resulting in members being able to access files of archived channels even if the “Allow users to view archived channels” option is disabled.

Public channel post content accessible without membership when compliance export is enabled

Mattermost fails to check if compliance export is enabled when fetching posts of public channels allowing a user that is not a member of the public channel to fetch the posts, which will not be audited in the compliance export. 

Mattermost version 8.1.x before 8.1.9 fails to sanitize data associated with permalinks when a plugin updates an ephemeral post, allowing an authenticated attacker who can control the ephemeral post update to access individual posts' contents in channels they are not a member of.

Unauthorized Command Execution in Archived Channels

Mattermost versions 10.4.x <= 10.4.2, 10.3.x <= 10.3.3, 9.11.x <= 9.11.8 fail to restrict command execution in archived channels, which allows authenticated users to run commands in archived channels.
