Service interruption via concurrent export jobs
Published Aug 23, 2024 · Updated Aug 23, 2024
Uncontrolled resource consumption in Mattermost Plugin Channel Export 1.0.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to interrupt service. The slash-command and REST export handlers start each job without a shared mutex, so overlapping requests enumerate and serialize channels concurrently. Any user permitted to export a channel can launch repeated simultaneous jobs that consume excessive CPU and other server resources.
