IDs: CVE-2025-12756, GHSA-p6gj-jc38-x2m7
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-12756 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:13 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 4.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8: affected <= 8.0.0-20251013062617-7977e7e6dae3
- Go github.com/mattermost/mattermost: affected >= 10.11.0, <= 10.11.4; >= 10.12.0, <= 10.12.1; >= 10.5.0, <= 10.5.12; >= 11.0.0, <= 11.0.2

## 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
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## 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.

## Sources
