Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-31859 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mattermost Mattermost Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-31859/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-31859/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-31859","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-31859/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-31859","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mattermost collaboration platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges to channel admin by running playbooks in existing channels due to missing authorization checks in Mattermost.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Mattermost","cpe":[{"product":"mattermost_server","vendor":"mattermost"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Mattermost versions 9.5.x \u003c= 9.5.3, 9.6.x \u003c= 9.6.1 and 8.1.x \u003c= 8.1.12 fail to perform proper authorization checks which allows a member running a playbook in an existing channel to be promoted to a channel admin","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Member promoted to channel admin via playbooks run linking to channel","id":"CVE-2024-31859","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mattermost:mattermost_server","products":["mattermost:mattermost_server"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Apache Zeppelin: Path traversal vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-31860"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) QuickAssist Technology software","id":"CVE-2024-31858"},"products":["Mattermost"],"published":"2024-05-26","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Account takeover on OAuth/OpenID-enabled servers","id":"CVE-2025-12419","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-27"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Account Takeover via Code Exchange Endpoint","id":"CVE-2025-12421","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-27"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Path Traversal Leading to RCE by Any Authenticated Mattermost User","id":"CVE-2025-4981","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-20"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Arbitrary file read via block duplication in Mattermost Boards","id":"CVE-2025-20051","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-24"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Arbitrary file read in Mattermost Boards via import \u0026 export board archive","id":"CVE-2025-25279","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mattermost Server: Insufficient Password-Reset Link Invalidation","id":"CVE-2016-11074","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mattermost Server allows attackers to gain privileges by accessing unintended API endpoints with users' credentials","id":"CVE-2017-18885","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-02","vendors":["Mattermost"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges to channel admin by running playbooks in existing channels due to missing authorization checks in Mattermost.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-31859/"}
