Summary

Mattermost Missing Authentication for Critical Function

Details

Mattermost versions 10.5.x <= 10.5.1, 9.11.x <= 9.11.9 fail to enforce MFA checks in PUT /api/v4/users/user-id/mfa when the requesting user differs from the target user ID, which allows users with edit_other_users permission to activate or deactivate MFA for other users, even if those users have not set up MFA.

Severity

2.2 (Low)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
