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-2026-28759/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-28759/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-28759","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-28759/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-28759","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8h9w-w78c-vvr3","GO-2026-5256"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mattermost collaboration platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A malicious remote cluster can remove users from arbitrary channels, including private ones, due to insufficient authorization checks during membership synchronization.","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-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"Mattermost versions 11.5.x \u003c= 11.5.1, 10.11.x \u003c= 10.11.13, 11.4.x \u003c= 11.4.3 fail to validate that a remote cluster has access to a channel before processing membership removal requests during shared channel membership sync, which allows a malicious remote cluster to remove any user from any channel, including private channels, via crafted membership sync messages targeting channels the remote cluster is not authorized to access.
