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 enforce board creation permissions when importing archive files. An authenticated non-guest team member can create Open or Private boards despite administrator restrictions by importing a crafted .boardarchive file.

Risk Assessment

A user can bypass administrator restrictions and create boards, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or policy violations. The risk is medium as it requires authentication.

Recommendation

Update Mattermost to a version containing the fix (newer than the listed versions). Until then, consider restricting the ability to import board archives.
