Technical details

This is an authorization/validation bypass vulnerability in the Mattermost Playbooks plugin's property field management API. The vulnerable component fails to verify that a property field belongs to the specified run before processing update requests. The attack requires network access to the REST API and valid authentication credentials with run property-management access. An attacker can trigger a denial-of-service condition by referencing a property field from an unrelated run, crashing the Playbooks plugin. Patches are available in versions 11.9.1+, 11.8.5+, 11.7.8+, and 10.11.23+.
