Summary

Mattermost versions 11.5.x <= 11.5.1 and 11.4.x <= 11.4.3 fail to validate the X-Requested-With header on the burn-on-read reveal endpoint, allowing an authenticated channel member to force the reveal of a burn-on-read message without recipient consent via a crafted Markdown image tag. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00636.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can bypass the burn-on-read mechanism and reveal message content that should be destroyed after reading, compromising communication confidentiality. The risk affects organizations using Mattermost in the specified versions.

Recommendation

Update Mattermost to a version later than 11.5.1 or 11.4.3, as per advisory MMSA-2026-00636. Until then, consider limiting reliance on burn-on-read messages.
