Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects certain versions of Mattermost (11.3.x <= 11.3.0, 11.2.x <= 11.2.2, and 10.11.x <= 10.11.10) where the system fails to properly enforce read permissions in its search API endpoints.

As a result, guest users who do not have read permissions can still access posts and files in channels by making search API requests.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability allows unauthorized guest users to access posts and files in channels that they should not be able to read.
