CVE-2026-4053· NVD / CVE Program· CNA Mattermost

post edit time limit is not enforced on some post update operations

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 17/100)

  • 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: 0.26% (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) 0.0.0-20260414103857-b21ef302025e, 11.5.2, 11.5.2+incompatible.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go) 0.0.0-20260414103857-b21ef302025e, 11.5.2, 11.5.2+incompatible or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Mattermost versions 11.5.x <= 11.5.1, 10.11.x <= 10.11.13 fail to enforce the PostEditTimeLimit on non-message post fields which allows an authenticated user to modify post file attachments, props, and pin status after the edit window has expired via the post patch and update API endpoints..
