Description

Mattermost versions 10.4.x <= 10.4.2, 10.5.x <= 10.5.0, 9.11.x <= 9.11.10 fail to validate the uniqueness and quantity of task actions within the UpdateRunTaskActions GraphQL operation, which allows an attacker to create task items containing an excessive number of actions triggered by specific posts, overloading the server and leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.

Remediation

Solution:

  • Update Mattermost to versions 10.6.0, 10.4.3, 10.5.1, 9.11.11 or higher. Alternatively, update the Mattermost Playbooks plugin to version 2.1.1 or higher.
