Summary

Mattermost versions 11.9.x <= 11.9.1, 11.8.x <= 11.8.5, 11.7.x <= 11.7.10, and 11.10.x <= 11.10.1 fail to bound the volume of text extracted from an uploaded PDF. An authenticated user can exhaust server memory and cause a denial of service via a crafted PDF whose compressed content stream expands into a very large amount of text.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated user can cause Mattermost server unavailability, disrupting organizational communication. Exploitation does not require administrative privileges.

Recommendation

Update Mattermost to a version containing fix MMSA-2026-00769. Consider limiting upload size and file types until the update is applied.
