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.
