Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Mattermost versions 11.3.x up to 11.3.0 and 11.2.x up to 11.2.2. It occurs because the software fails to verify the 'run_create' permission when the playbookId is empty. As a result, team members can create unauthorized runs using the playbook run API.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is that team members without proper authorization can create runs they should not be allowed to create. This could lead to unauthorized actions or changes within the Mattermost environment, potentially disrupting workflows or causing misuse of the playbook run functionality.
