Application crash via malformed external URL
Published Oct 13, 2025 · Updated Oct 14, 2025
Improper URL validation in Mattermost Desktop App 5.13.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to crash the app via a malformed link. The client accepts a URL outside its configured Mattermost servers without validating its malformed structure before opening it. The attacker must have access to a configured server and persuade the user to click the link; the resulting impact is a client-process crash.
