CVE-2025-36530

MediumCVSS 6.8
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Mattermost versions 10.9.x <= 10.9.1, 10.8.x <= 10.8.3, 10.5.x <= 10.5.8, and 9.11.x <= 9.11.17 fail to properly validate file paths during plugin import operations. This allows restricted admin users to install unauthorized custom plugins via path traversal, bypassing plugin signature enforcement and marketplace restrictions.

Risk Assessment

A restricted admin can install an unauthorized plugin while bypassing security controls, potentially leading to malicious code execution within the Mattermost environment. The risk affects Mattermost instances with administrative users.

Recommendation

Update Mattermost to a version containing the fix (newer than the listed vulnerable versions). Restrict administrative privileges and monitor plugin installations.
