Summary
Mattermost versions 11.6.x <= 11.6.1, 11.5.x <= 11.5.4, and 10.11.x <= 10.11.16 fail to enforce proper permissions when creating teams, allowing authenticated users with PermissionCreateTeam but without PermissionInviteUser to modify team invite settings.
Risk Assessment
The organization may be exposed to unauthorized changes in team settings, potentially leading to uncontrolled access to teams and data.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Mattermost to the latest version to ensure proper enforcement of permissions when creating teams.

Mattermost versions 11.9.x <= 11.9.1, 11.8.x <= 11.8.5, 11.7.x <= 11.7.10, and 11.10.x <= 11.10.1 fail to limit the length of the post ID array accepted by the bulk reactions endpoint, allowing an authenticated user to cause excessive database load via a crafted request to {{POST /api/v4/posts/ids/reactions}}.

- CVE-2026-86348Medium
Mattermost versions <=11.9, 11.0.9, 11.4.8, 11.7.7, and 10.22.11.0 fail to recover from handler panics, allowing an authenticated user to crash the plugin via a post-action request with an unexpected field type.

Mattermost versions 11.9.x <= 11.9.0, 11.8.x <= 11.8.4, and 11.7.x <= 11.7.7 fail to enforce authorization boundaries on the access control policy update endpoint, allowing a channel or team administrator to detach a system-assigned ABAC parent policy via a crafted PUT /api/v4/access_control_policies request with an empty imports list.
- CVE-2026-8821High
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 validate channel member-management permission during playbook run creation, allowing an authenticated channel member to add an arbitrary user to a restricted channel via the run owner field. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00677
- CVE-2026-5132Medium
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 the size of unpacked SDP messages compressed with zlib. An attacker can send many SDP messages that unpack to a large size, causing denial of service or server crash.

Mattermost versions 11.6.x <= 11.6.1, 11.5.x <= 11.5.4, 10.11.x <= 10.11.15, 10.11.x <= 10.11.16 Fail to enforce PermissionInviteUser when setting AllowOpenInvite or AllowedDomains during team creation (the check was only applied on update/patch), which allows an authenticated user holding PermissionCreateTeam but not PermissionInviteUser on the resulting team to configure invite-controlled team settings (make the team publicly joinable via open invite and/or constrain membership via allowed domains) that they are not permitted to set on an existing team via POST /api/v4/teams with allow_open_invite: true and/or a non-empty allowed_domains in the request body..
