Synopsis

A web application running on the remote server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Mattermost Server running on the remote host is prior to 7.8.8, 7.9.x prior to 7.9.6 or 7.10.x prior to 7.10.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - Mattermost fails to sanitize post metadata during audit logging resulting in permalinks contents being logged. (CVE-2023-4108)

 - Mattermost fails to properly validate the requesting user permissions when updating a system admin, allowing a user manager to update a system admin's details such as email, first name and last name.
 (CVE-2023-4107)

 - Mattermost fails to check if the requesting user is a guest before performing different actions to public playbooks, resulting a guest being able to view, join, edit, export and archive public playbooks.
 (CVE-2023-4106)

 - Mattermost fails to delete the attachments when deleting a message in a thread allowing a simple user to still be able to access and download the attachment of a deleted message. (CVE-2023-4105)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Mattermost Server version 7.8.8, 7.9.6, 7.10.4 or later.
