Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects certain versions of Mattermost and the Mattermost Plugin Zoom. It occurs because the system fails to properly validate user identity and post ownership in the /api/v1/askPMI endpoint. As a result, unauthorized users can start Zoom meetings as any user and overwrite arbitrary posts by making direct API calls with manipulated user IDs and post data.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability allows unauthorized users to impersonate any user to start Zoom meetings and to overwrite posts arbitrarily. This can lead to unauthorized access to meetings, potential disruption of communication, and manipulation or loss of posted information.
