Summary

Mattermost versions 11.9.x <= 11.9.1, 11.8.x <= 11.8.5, and 11.7.x <= 11.7.10 fail to validate the target post ID in the Agents plugin's mention reminder component. An authenticated user who can post in a channel visible to a system administrator can cause the administrator's browser to send an unintended API request, resulting in replacement of an installed plugin and code execution on the server, via a crafted post containing a forged mention reminder that the administrator clicks.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can achieve server-side code execution by replacing a plugin, potentially leading to full compromise of the Mattermost instance. This requires administrator interaction but is a low bar for an authenticated user.

Recommendation

Update Mattermost to a version containing the fix for MMSA-2026-00742. Inform administrators about the risk of clicking unknown mention reminders and restrict posting permissions in channels visible to administrators.
