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 sanitize Team objects returned by the data retention teams endpoint. An authenticated user with only the read-only Data Retention Policy permission can obtain a private team's secret invite_id and email and join the team without authorization via GET /api/v4/data_retention/policies/{policy_id}/teams.
Risk Assessment
An authenticated user with minimal permissions can gain access to private teams, leading to unauthorized information access and potential confidentiality breaches. This may enable privilege escalation and access to protected resources.
Recommendation
Update Mattermost to a version that includes the fix for this issue (MMSA-2026-00702). Until then, restrict Data Retention Policy permissions and monitor for unusual team joins.

- 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.
- CVE-2026-82920Medium
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.
