CVE-2024-8071 (GCVE-0-2024-8071)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-08-22 06:39 – Updated: 2024-08-22 13:33

Title

System Role with edit access to permissions can elevate themselves to system admin

Summary

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.1, 9.5.x <= 9.5.7, 9.10.x <= 9.10.0 and 9.8.x <= 9.8.2 fail to restrict which roles can promote a user as system admin which allows a System Role with edit access to the permissions section of system console to update their role (e.g. member) to include the `manage_system` permission, effectively becoming a System Admin.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-08-22 09:30 – Updated: 2024-08-23 21:17

Summary

Mattermost doesn't restrict which roles can promote a user as system admin

Details

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.1, 9.5.x <= 9.5.7, 9.10.x <= 9.10.0 and 9.8.x <= 9.8.2 fail to restrict which roles can promote a user as system admin which allows a System Role with edit access to the permissions section of system console to update their role (e.g. member) to include the manage_system permission, effectively becoming a System Admin.
