Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-4981 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 8.0.0-20250519205859-65aec10162f6\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 8.0.0-20250519205859-65aec10162f6\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 8.0.0-20250519205859-65aec10162f6\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected from 10.5.0; fixed in 10.5.6\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected from 10.5.0; fixed in 10.5.6\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected from 10.6.0; fixed in 10.6.6\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected from 10.6.0; fixed in 10.6.6\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected from 10.7.0; fixed in 10.7.3\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected from 10.7.0; fixed in 10.7.3\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected from 10.8.0; fixed in 10.8.1\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected from 10.8.0; fixed in 10.8.1\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected from 9.11.0; fixed in 9.11.16\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-2025-4981/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-4981/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-4981","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-4981/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-4981","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qh58-9v3j-wcjc","GO-2025-3769"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mattermost collaboration platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can achieve remote code execution via path traversal in archive extraction, affecting default Mattermost configurations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Mattermost","cpe":[{"product":"mattermost_server","vendor":"mattermost"}],"cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Mattermost versions 10.5.x \u003c= 10.5.5, 9.11.x \u003c= 9.11.15, 10.8.x \u003c= 10.8.0, 10.7.x \u003c= 10.7.2, 10.6.x \u003c= 10.6.5 fail to sanitize filenames in the archive extractor which allows authenticated users to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem via uploading archives with path traversal sequences in filenames, potentially leading to remote code execution.
