Application-Level DoS via infinite re-render loop in user profile handling
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.30% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go) 10.11.9, 10.11.9+incompatible, 11.0.7; govulncheck-vulndb (openSUSE:Leap 15.6) 0.0.20260226T182644-150000.1.149.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go) 10.11.9, 10.11.9+incompatible, 11.0.7; govulncheck-vulndb (openSUSE:Leap 15.6) 0.0.20260226T182644-150000.1.149.1 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Mattermost versions 10.11.x <= 10.11.8, 11.1.x <= 11.1.1, 11.0.x <= 11.0.6 fail to prevent infinite re-renders on API errors which allows authenticated users to cause application-level DoS via triggering unbounded component re-render loops.

What does it mean in your environment?
The assessment above is generated automatically from the record's data; it doesn't know your environment. Our team verifies on your systems whether this vulnerability is actually exploitable and which mitigation is enough.

Is your version affected?
Pick the product and type the version you run. It's compared with this record's version ranges in your browser; the version isn't sent anywhere.
| Vendor | Product | CPE |

Affected versions
NVD version ranges (for catalog products). Add the product to your stack with a version and matching uses these.
- mattermost mattermost server10.11.0 and later · before 10.11.9

- mattermost mattermost server11.1.0 and later · before 11.1.2
Versions reported by the vendor
Affected version ranges reported by the assigning authority (Mattermost). Independent of NVD's CPE analysis and usually ahead of it.
