Technical details
The vulnerability exists in Mattermost's post-action handler, which does not properly recover from panics when processing requests containing unexpected field types. An authenticated user can craft a malicious post-action request with an invalid field type to trigger an unhandled panic in the handler, causing the plugin to crash. The attack requires valid authentication credentials and network access to the Mattermost instance. Affected versions include 11.9 and earlier, with specific vulnerable releases: 11.0.9, 11.4.8, 11.7.7, and 10.22.11.0. The vendor has released patches; users should upgrade to patched versions to remediate the issue.
