CVE-2026-8074· NVD / CVE Program· CNA Mattermost

Improper Permission Check Allows User Manager to Deactivate Bot Accounts

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 15/100)

  • 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: 0.31% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go) 10.11.18, 10.11.18+incompatible, 11.7.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go) 10.11.18, 10.11.18+incompatible, 11.7.1 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

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Mattermost versions 11.7.x <= 11.7.0, 10.11.x <= 10.11.17 fail to enforce bot-specific permission checks on the user active status endpoint, which allows a User Manager with user management write access but no Integrations access to deactivate bot accounts via the PUT /api/v4/users/{id}/active API endpoint..
