Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-5163 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 8.0.0-20260401090745-f4d1abe7e8f5\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 8.0.0-20260401090745-f4d1abe7e8f5\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 8.0.0-20260401090745-f4d1abe7e8f5\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected from 11.5.0; fixed in 11.5.2\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected from 11.5.0; fixed in 11.5.2\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 5.3.2-0.20260401090745-f4d1abe7e8f5\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 5.3.2-0.20260401090745-f4d1abe7e8f5\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go): affected from 11.5.0+incompatible; fixed in 11.5.2+incompatible\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/v5 (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/v6 (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\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-2026-5163/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5163/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-5163","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5163/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-5163","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8r89-8w26-cq32","GO-2026-5263"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mattermost collaboration platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can read private thread content in Mattermost by bypassing channel membership checks on the AI message rewrite endpoint.","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":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Mattermost versions 11.5.x \u003c= 11.5.1 fail to verify channel membership when processing AI-assisted message rewrites which allows an authenticated attacker to read the content of threads in private channels and direct messages they do not have access to via a crafted request to the post rewrite endpoint..
