Mattermost doesn't validate user-supplied input in API request handlers

CVE-2026-4646GHSA-rmvv-8v8w-rf7x

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-github 1.0.1-0.20260330164815-c2840e980b3c; github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server 11.6.1, 11.5.4, 11.4.5, 10.11.15), 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.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-4646

Advisory: Mattermost doesn't validate user-supplied input in API request handlers
IDs: CVE-2026-4646, GHSA-rmvv-8v8w-rf7x
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-4646 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:24 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-plugin-github 1.0.1-0.20260330164815-c2840e980b3c; github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server 11.6.1, 11.5.4, 11.4.5, 10.11.15. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-github: affected < 1.0.1-0.20260330164815-c2840e980b3c; fixed in 1.0.1-0.20260330164815-c2840e980b3c
- Go github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server: affected >= 11.6.0, <= 11.6.0; >= 11.5.0, < 11.5.4; >= 11.4.0, < 11.4.5; >= 10.11.0, < 10.11.15; fixed in 10.11.15, 11.4.5, 11.5.4, 11.6.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-github: 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-plugin-github, 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.
