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-2026-6046/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6046/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-6046","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6046/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-6046","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3vmp-whvv-5v9v","GO-2026-6279"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mattermost Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An unprivileged attacker can intercept private plugin messages by pre-registering a user account with a predictable bot username in Mattermost Server.","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":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Mattermost versions 11.6.x \u003c= 11.6.1, 11.5.x \u003c= 11.5.4, 10.11.x \u003c= 10.11.15, 10.11.x \u003c= 10.11.16 fail to validate that a username returned during bot registration belongs to a bot account, which allows an unprivileged attacker to intercept private messages sent by plugins via direct message channels by pre-registering a user account with a predictable plugin bot username..
