Denial of Service via Memory Exhaustion in Mattermost Integrations

Publication date: 2026-03-16

Last updated on: 2026-03-18

Assigner: Mattermost, Inc.

Description
Mattermost versions 11.3.x <= 11.3.0, 11.2.x <= 11.2.2, 10.11.x <= 10.11.10 Mattermost fails to limit the size of responses from integration action endpoints, which allows an authenticated attacker to cause server memory exhaustion and denial of service via a malicious integration server that returns an arbitrarily large response when a user clicks an interactive message button..

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Mattermost versions 11.3.x <= 11.3.0, 11.2.x <= 11.2.2, and 10.11.x <= 10.11.10. It occurs because Mattermost does not limit the size of responses from integration action endpoints.

An authenticated attacker can exploit this by using a malicious integration server that returns an arbitrarily large response when a user clicks an interactive message button.

This can cause the server to exhaust its memory, leading to a denial of service condition.

Impact Analysis

The primary impact of this vulnerability is a denial of service (DoS) on the Mattermost server.

An attacker who is authenticated can cause the server to consume excessive memory by sending large responses through a malicious integration, potentially making the service unavailable to legitimate users.
