Summary

Mattermost versions 11.10.x <= 11.10.0, 11.7.x <= 11.7.9, 11.9.x <= 11.9.1, 11.8.x <= 11.8.5 fail to reject OAuth application sessions in the account type switch endpoint. An attacker with a valid OAuth bearer token for a target user can permanently take over that user's SSO-backed account by setting an attacker-controlled password and detaching the account from its identity provider.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can completely take over a user's account, gaining persistent access to their data and privileges. This can lead to privilege escalation and further attacks within the organization.

Recommendation

Update Mattermost to the latest version that fixes this vulnerability. Monitor for unusual account type changes and enforce strong authentication.
