Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Feb 13, 2026 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Feb 13, 2026

Package

gomod github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go)

Affected versions

>= 11.2.0, <= 11.2.1

Description

Mattermost versions 11.1.x <= 11.1.2, 10.11.x <= 10.11.9, 11.2.x <= 11.2.1 fail to validate user permissions when creating Jira issues from Mattermost posts, which allows an authenticated attacker with access to the Jira plugin to read post content and attachments from channels they do not have access to via the /create-issue API endpoint by providing the post ID of an inaccessible post..

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
