Technical details
The vulnerability stems from CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure) where Mattermost Desktop App versions ≤5.7.0 left Electron debug flags enabled in the production build. These debug flags can be leveraged by a local attacker with user-level privileges to bypass macOS TCC (Transparency, Consent, and Control) restrictions without user interaction. An attacker with local access to the system running the affected application can exploit this to gain unauthorized access to protected resources. The vulnerability was fixed in version 5.8.0.
