CVE-2024-6428: Mattermost

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Mattermost versions 9.8.0, 9.7.x <= 9.7.4, 9.6.x <= 9.6.2, 9.5.x <= 9.5.5 fail to prevent specifying a RemoteId when creating a new user which allows an attacker to specify both a remoteId and the user ID, resulting in creating a user with a user-defined user ID. This can cause some broken functionality in User Management such administrative actions against the user not working.

Affected products

• Mattermost Mattermost: from 9.5.0, before 9.5.6 (fixed in 9.5.6); from 9.6.0, before 9.6.3 (fixed in 9.6.3); from 9.7.0, before 9.7.5 (fixed in 9.7.5); from 9.8.0, before 9.8.1 (fixed in 9.8.1)
