CVE-2025-6227 | Invite token is used as part of the secure communication

Mattermost versions 10.5.x <= 10.5.7, 9.11.x <= 9.11.16 fail to negotiate a new token when accepting the invite which allows a user that intercepts both invite and password to send synchronization payloads to the server that originally created the invite via the REST API.

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
2.2 3.1 LOW
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:H)
Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
Privileges required (PR:H)
They need powerful rights—admin, root, or similar—before this pays off.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
