Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new malware loader called QuirkyLoader that's being used to deliver via email spam campaigns an array of next-stage payloads ranging from information stealers to remote access trojans since November 2024. Some of the notable malware families distributed using QuirkyLoader include Agent Tesla, AsyncRAT, Formbook, Masslogger, Remcos RAT,

Mattermost versions 10.8.x <= 10.8.3, 10.5.x <= 10.5.8, 9.11.x <= 9.11.17, 10.9.x <= 10.9.2 fails to sanitize path traversal sequences in template file destination paths, which allows a system admin to perform path traversal attacks via malicious path components, potentially enabling malicious file placement outside intended directories.

Mattermost versions 10.9.x <= 10.9.1, 10.8.x <= 10.8.3, 10.5.x <= 10.5.8, 9.11.x <= 9.11.17 fail to properly validate file paths during plugin import operations which allows restricted admin users to install unauthorized custom plugins via path traversal in the import functionality, bypassing plugin signature enforcement and marketplace restrictions.

Mattermost versions 10.5.x <= 10.5.8, 9.11.x <= 9.11.17 fail to properly validate authorization for team scheme role modifications which allows Team Admins to demote Team Members to Guests via the PUT /api/v4/teams/team-id/members/user-id/schemeRoles API endpoint.

Mattermost Server versions 10.5.x <= 10.5.9 utilizing the Agents plugin fail to reject empty request bodies which allows users to trick users into clicking malicious links via post actions

Mattermost versions 10.8.x <= 10.8.3, 10.5.x <= 10.5.8, 9.11.x <= 9.11.17, 10.9.x <= 10.9.2 fail to sanitize the team invite ID in the POST /api/v4/teams/:teamId/restore endpoint which allows an team admin with no member invite privileges to get the team’s invite id.

Mattermost versions 10.8.x <= 10.8.3, 10.5.x <= 10.5.8, 9.11.x <= 9.11.17, 10.9.x <= 10.9.2, 10.10.x <= 10.10.0 fail to validate upload types in remote cluster upload sessions which allows a system admin to upload non-attachment file types via shared channels that could potentially be placed in arbitrary filesystem directories.

Mattermost versions 10.5.x <= 10.5.8 fail to validate access controls at time of access which allows user to read a thread via AI posts

Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Windows Storage allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
