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.
