Summary

CVE-2026-6343 is a medium-severity Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) vulnerability in Mattermost Mattermost Server. Its CVSS base score is 4.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 6th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-24 (Access Control Decisions) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Mattermost versions 11.5.x <= 11.5.1, 10.11.x <= 10.11.13, 11.4.x <= 11.4.3 fail to check public/private permissions which allows members without these permissions to access public playbooks via /get.. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00591

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
Why these techniques?

Authorization bypass in public-facing Mattermost app directly enables exploitation via T1190.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces authorization checks on playbook resources so that members lacking public/private permissions cannot access them via /get.

prevent

Requires that playbook access rights be assigned under least-privilege rules, reducing the impact of any missing permission checks.

prevent

Ensures access-control decisions for playbooks are made by a reference monitor rather than being bypassed in the /get handler.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Defining, enforcing, and reviewing access authorizations and least privilege directly prevents incorrect authorization checks.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

prevents

Requiring consistency between access rights and classification plus formal approval steps ensures that the authorization logic correctly distinguishes between entities that should and should not be granted access.

prevents

Enforcing policy-driven approval and role-change reviews stops incorrect or stale authorization decisions from remaining in effect after job changes or terminations.

prevents

By tying access rights to identity, device, location and classification, the control reduces the likelihood that an authorization decision will be based on an incorrect or bypassed policy.
