Improper Input Validation in MS Teams Meetings API Handler
Mattermost versions 11.5.x <= 11.5.1, 10.11.x <= 10.11.13, 11.4.x <= 11.4.3 fail to limit the size of the request body on the start meeting API endpoint, which allows an authenticated attacker to cause resource exhaustion or denial of service via a crafted oversized HTTP POST request to {{/api/v1/meetings}}.. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00608
