Mattermost allows remote actor to create/update/delete posts in arbitrary channels

CVE-2024-41144GHSA-vg67-chm7-8m3j

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 9.9.1, 9.8.2, 9.7.6, 9.5.7, 8.0.0-20240619142046-8181a9ddffc0; github.com/mattermost/mattermost 5.3.2-0.20240619142046-8181a9ddffc0), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.0, 9.5.x <= 9.5.6, 9.7.x <= 9.7.5, 9.8.x <= 9.8.1 fail to properly validate synced posts, when shared channels are enabled, which allows a malicious remote to create/update/delete arbitrary posts in arbitrary channels

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-41144

Advisory: Mattermost allows remote actor to create/update/delete posts in arbitrary channels
IDs: CVE-2024-41144, GHSA-vg67-chm7-8m3j
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-41144 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:09 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.0)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 9.9.1, 9.8.2, 9.7.6, 9.5.7, 8.0.0-20240619142046-8181a9ddffc0; github.com/mattermost/mattermost 5.3.2-0.20240619142046-8181a9ddffc0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8: affected >= 9.5.0, < 9.5.7; >= 9.7.0, < 9.7.6; >= 9.8.0, < 9.8.2; >= 9.9.0, <= 9.9.0; < 8.0.0-20240619142046-8181a9ddffc0; fixed in 8.0.0-20240619142046-8181a9ddffc0, 9.7.6, 9.9.1, 9.5.7, 9.8.2
- Go github.com/mattermost/mattermost: affected < 5.3.2-0.20240619142046-8181a9ddffc0; fixed in 5.3.2-0.20240619142046-8181a9ddffc0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Go github.com/mattermost/mattermost: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8, github.com/mattermost/mattermost.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
