Guest-session multiplication via concurrent magic-link redemption
Published Apr 15, 2026 · Updated Apr 15, 2026
A TOCTOU race in affected Mattermost Server releases allows remote attackers to create multiple guest sessions from one magic link. Guest magic-link redemption checks and consumes a nominally single-use token without atomic enforcement, so concurrent requests can each obtain an independent authenticated session. Exploitation requires a valid, unexpired guest magic link and enabled guest magic-link login; resulting access remains limited to the invited guest's authorized channels.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=10.11.0 <=10.11.12
- Affected versionversion=11.3.0 <=11.3.2
- Affected versionversion=11.4.0 <=11.4.2
- Affected versionversion=11.5.0 <=11.5.0
