Summary

Mattermost versions 11.9.x <= 11.9.0, 11.8.x <= 11.8.4, 11.7.x <= 11.7.7, 10.11.x <= 10.11.22 fail to properly enforce the limit of concurrent files being processed and handled failed files. A user with permission to upload files can spawn more goroutines than intended and block the indexing of other files by constantly uploading heavy files to the server.

Risk Assessment

A user can block other users' file indexing, causing service degradation and potential denial of service (DoS). The risk is medium as it requires file upload permissions.

Recommendation

Update Mattermost to a version containing the fix (newer than the listed versions). Until then, consider limiting uploaded file size or monitoring goroutine count.
