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 limit decompressed content size and enforce the configured maximum file size in the Boards archive import handler. An authenticated user can cause memory exhaustion or unbounded disk consumption via a crafted .boardarchive file uploaded to the import endpoint.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated attacker can exhaust server resources (memory or disk) on the Mattermost instance, causing denial of service for other users. The risk applies to instances with Boards archive import enabled.

Recommendation

Update Mattermost to a version containing the fix (per advisory MMSA-2026-00713). Restrict access to the Boards import endpoint to trusted users and monitor for unusual resource consumption.
