Chainguard vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A race condition vulnerability was identified in Mattermost versions 8.1.x before 8.1.9, and 9.4.x before 9.4.2. The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to gain unauthorized access to individual posts' contents through carefully timed post creation while another user deletes posts (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as a race condition (CWE-362) and exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor (CWE-200). It has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 2.6 (LOW) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, indicating network accessibility, high attack complexity, required low privileges, user interaction, and low confidentiality impact (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized access to individual posts' contents, potentially exposing sensitive information to authenticated attackers who can exploit the race condition timing (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
