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 improper validation of the invite_guest permission when inviting guests from other teams. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to add a guest to a team without the proper permissions.

Note: This happens as long as the guest was already a guest in another team on the server.
