CVE-2026-19541: Mattermost OAuth connection secret exposure via validation bypass

CVE-2026-19541 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-16

Mattermost is a team collaboration platform that manages OAuth connections to third-party services. A flaw in versions 11.7 through 11.10 allows authenticated users with permission to manage OAuth connections to extract the stored client secret by redirecting the validation flow to an attacker-controlled server. This could enable an attacker to impersonate the OAuth application or access data on connected services.

Technologies: Mattermost Server. Vendors: Mattermost.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an information disclosure issue in outgoing OAuth connection validation that fails to re-authenticate or re-validate the client secret before sending it to the token URL during validation. An authenticated administrator can exploit this by modifying the token URL to point to an attacker-controlled endpoint, causing the client secret to be transmitted in plaintext. No user interaction beyond the initial validation trigger is required.
