Mattermost Server < 8.1.9 / 9.2.x < 9.2.5 / 9.3.x < 9.3.1 / 9.4.x < 9.4.2, 9.5.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities (MMSA-2023-00285)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 191689

Synopsis

The remote host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Mattermost Server installed on the remote host is prior to 8.1.9, 9.2.5, 9.3.1, or 9.4.2, 9.5.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the MMSA-2023-00285 advisory.

- 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. (CVE-2024-1887)

- 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. (CVE-2024-23488)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Mattermost Server version 8.1.9 / 9.2.5 / 9.3.1 / 9.4.2, 9.5.0 or later.
