Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
Mattermost Desktop App versions up to 5.13.0 have a flaw in handling modal dialogs when connecting to servers using basic authentication. An attacker can set up a malicious server that, when configured by the user, triggers a modal popup in the app that cannot be closed, effectively blocking the user from accessing their server through the Desktop App.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can cause a denial of service for users of the Mattermost Desktop App by preventing them from accessing their servers if they connect to a malicious server that triggers an unclosable modal popup. This disrupts normal use of the app and can impact productivity.
