Mattermost versions 11.6.x <= 11.6.1, 11.5.x <= 11.5.4, 10.11.x <= 10.11.15, 10.11.x <= 10.11.16 fail to restrict role_updated websocket event broadcasts to members of the affected team or channel which allows an authenticated attacker with guest-level access to observe permission scheme change notifications for private teams they are not a member of via the websocket connection.. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00616
Mattermost versions 11.5.x <= 11.5.1 fail to validate team-level run_create permission against the target team when creating a playbook run which allows an authenticated team member to create runs in teams where they lack permission via specifying a different team ID in the run creation API request.

Mattermost versions <11.0 fail to properly enforce the "Allow users to view archived channels" setting which allows regular users to access archived channel content and files via the "Open in Channel" functionality from followed threads
Mattermost versions <11 fail to enforce multi-factor authentication on WebSocket connections which allows unauthenticated users to access sensitive information via WebSocket events
Mattermost versions <11 fail to properly restrict access to archived channel search API which allows guest users to discover archived public channels via the `/api/v4/teams/{team_id}/channels/search_archived` endpoint
