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 parse Markdown autolinks with unmatched trailing closing parentheses in linear time. An authenticated user with permission to create posts can cause excessive server CPU consumption and degrade availability for other users via specially crafted post or message attachment content.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated user can cause server performance degradation (DoS) through excessive CPU consumption, affecting Mattermost availability for all users. The risk is medium as it requires post creation permissions.

Recommendation

Update Mattermost to a version containing the fix (newer than the listed versions). Until then, consider monitoring server CPU usage.
