Description
Mattermost versions 11.5.x <= 11.5.1, 10.11.x <= 10.11.13, 11.4.x <= 11.4.3 fail to validate 7zip archive structure before processing which allows an authenticated attacker to cause server memory exhaustion and denial of service via uploading a specially crafted 7zip file with excessive folder declarations.. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00573
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Mattermost versions 11.5.x through 11.5.1, 10.11.x through 10.11.13, and 11.4.x through 11.4.3.
