Plugin crash via repeated malformed subscription updates
Published Aug 11, 2025 · Updated Aug 11, 2025
Improper exceptional-condition handling in Mattermost Confluence Plugin before 1.5.0 allows remote attackers to crash the plugin. The update channel subscription endpoint fails to handle an invalid request body, and sustained malformed requests terminate the plugin. No authentication or user interaction is required; the reported consequence is plugin availability loss, not data access or modification.
