Cross-board file disclosure via missing permission checks
Published Dec 2, 2025 · Updated Dec 2, 2025
Authorization bypass in Mattermost Boards 10.5.0 through 10.5.12 and 10.11.0 through 10.11.4 lets remote authenticated users read inaccessible files. The Boards file-access and block-subscription paths accept references to other boards without verifying that the requesting user has permission for the referenced board. A valid account and references to another board's files or blocks are required; the reported impact is file disclosure and unauthorized block subscriptions.
