Overview

github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server is an open source Slack-alternative in Golang and React.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control due to the lack of proper validation for compliance export settings when retrieving posts from public channels. An attacker can fetch posts from a public channel they are not a member of, and these actions will not be recorded in the compliance export.
