Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of Mattermost Server installed on the remote host is prior to 9.11.8, 10.2.3, 10.3.3, or 10.4.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the MMSA-2025-00430 advisory.

 - Mattermost versions 10.4.x <= 10.4.1, 9.11.x <= 9.11.7, 10.3.x <= 10.3.2, 10.2.x <= 10.2.2 fail to properly validate board blocks when importing boards which allows an attacker could read any arbitrary file on the system via importing and exporting a specially crafted import archive in Boards.
 (CVE-2025-25279)

 - Mattermost versions 10.4.x <= 10.4.1, 9.11.x <= 9.11.7, 10.3.x <= 10.3.2, 10.2.x <= 10.2.2 fail to properly validate input when patching and duplicating a board, which allows a user to read any arbitrary file on the system via duplicating a specially crafted block in Boards. (CVE-2025-20051)

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 9.11.8 / 10.2.3 / 10.3.3 / 10.4.2 or later.
