Technical details
The vulnerability is a failure to apply the internal-connection filter to OAuth endpoint requests, allowing authenticated system administrators to make the Mattermost server issue requests to internal network addresses. An attacker with system administrator privileges can read responses from configured OAuth token and userinfo endpoints that would normally be restricted from accessing internal resources.
