Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

NewCVE-2025-4981 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/platform/services/docextractor to version 9.11.16-rc1, 10.5.6-rc1, 10.6.6-rc1, 10.7.3-rc1, 10.8.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Relative Path Traversal via the Extract method. An attacker can gain remote code execution by uploading specially crafted archive files containing path traversal sequences in filenames, resulting in files being written to arbitrary locations on the filesystem.
Note: This is only exploitable if file uploads and document search by content are enabled (FileSettings.EnableFileAttachments = true and FileSettings.ExtractContent = true), which are enabled by default.
