Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
Mattermost Desktop App versions < 6.0.0 fail to sanitize sensitive information from Mattermost logs and clear data on server deletion which allows an attacker with access to the users system to gain access to potentially sensitive information via reading the application logs. A fix is available for direct download via the Mattermost Desktop repository, but it has not been uploaded to the npm registry at time of publication.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-13321 Advisory: Mattermost Desktop App exposes sensitive information in its application logs IDs: CVE-2025-13321, GHSA-g6qx-wq5w-wr8v Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-13321 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:41 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Low (CVSS 3.3) 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 - npm mattermost-desktop: affected <= 3.6.0 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `npm ls mattermost-desktop --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`. ## 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 mattermost-desktop. - 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 - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-g6qx-wq5w-wr8v (OSV record GHSA-g6qx-wq5w-wr8v lists affected ranges: npm mattermost-desktop >=0 <=3.6.0) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-g6qx-wq5w-wr8v (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-g6qx-wq5w-wr8v lists affected ranges: npm mattermost-desktop >=0 <=3.6.0) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
