An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-8823 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go): affected from 10.11.0; fixed in 10.11.18\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go): affected from 10.11.0; fixed in 10.11.18\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go): affected from 10.11.0+incompatible; fixed in 10.11.18+incompatible, 11.7.1+incompatible\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go): affected from 11.7.0; fixed in 11.7.1\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go): affected from 11.7.0; fixed in 11.7.1\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- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 8.0.0-20260518160100-9bd77d3fc4d2\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 8.0.0-20260518160100-9bd77d3fc4d2\n- github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 8.0.0-20260518160100-9bd77d3fc4d2\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-2026-8823/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8823/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-8823","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8823/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-8823","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xmfh-3ccg-c9fx","GO-2026-6547"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mattermost collaboration platform","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Lower-privileged administrators can demote arbitrary bot accounts to guest status without proper bot-management permissions, potentially disrupting automated services.","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":3.8,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"Mattermost versions 11.7.x \u003c= 11.7.0, 10.11.x \u003c= 10.11.17 fail to validate bot targets when demoting users to guests which allows a lower-privileged administrator to degrade arbitrary bot accounts via the standard demote-user API..
