Official Description
Mattermost versions 11.3.x <= 11.3.0, 11.2.x <= 11.2.2, 10.11.x <= 10.11.10 fail to validate team-specific upload_file permissions which allows a guest user to post files in channels where they lack upload_file permission via uploading files in a team where they have permission and reusing the file metadata in a POST request to a different team. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2025-00553
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-4265 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
