Mattermost fails to canonicalize IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses before reserved IP validation

CVE-2026-2455GHSA-gqv7-j2j8-qmwq

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 8.0.0-20260129133647-5d787969c2d5; github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server 11.3.1, 11.2.3, 10.11.11, 5.3.2-0.20260129133647-5d787969c2d5), 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 11.3.x <= 11.3.0, 11.2.x <= 11.2.2, 10.11.x <= 10.11.10 fail to canonicalize IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses before reserved IP validation which allows an attacker to perform SSRF attacks against internal services via IPv4-mapped IPv6 literals (e.g., [::ffff:127.0.0.1])..

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-2455

Advisory: Mattermost fails to canonicalize IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses before reserved IP validation
IDs: CVE-2026-2455, GHSA-gqv7-j2j8-qmwq
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-2455 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:18 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 fix available; fixed versions by package: github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 8.0.0-20260129133647-5d787969c2d5; github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server 11.3.1, 11.2.3, 10.11.11, 5.3.2-0.20260129133647-5d787969c2d5. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8: affected < 8.0.0-20260129133647-5d787969c2d5; fixed in 8.0.0-20260129133647-5d787969c2d5
- Go github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server: affected < 5.3.2-0.20260129133647-5d787969c2d5; >= 10.11.0-rc1, < 10.11.11; >= 11.2.0-rc1, < 11.2.3; >= 11.3.0-rc1, < 11.3.1; fixed in 11.3.1, 10.11.11, 11.2.3, 5.3.2-0.20260129133647-5d787969c2d5

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