Ubuntu Security Notice 6941-1 - It was discovered that the Python ipaddress module contained incorrect information about which IP address ranges were considered “private” or “globally reachable”. This could possibly result in applications applying incorrect security policies.

The lesson for users, especially if you’re a private company that primarily uses GitHub, is just to understand the inherent dangers of using open-source software.

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.0, 9.5.x <= 9.5.6, 9.7.x <= 9.7.5, 9.8.x <= 9.8.1 fail to properly validate synced posts, when shared channels are enabled,  which allows a malicious remote to create/update/delete arbitrary posts in arbitrary channels

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.0, 9.5.x <= 9.5.6, 9.7.x <= 9.7.5, 9.8.x <= 9.8.1 fail to disallow users to set their own remote username, when shared channels were enabled, which allows a user on a remote to set their remote username prop to an arbitrary string, which would be then synced to the local server as long as the user hadn't been synced before.

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.0, 9.5.x <= 9.5.6, 9.7.x <= 9.7.5, 9.8.x <= 9.8.1 fail to properly safeguard an error handling which allows a malicious remote to permanently delete local data by abusing dangerous error handling, when share channels were enabled.

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.0 and 9.5.x <= 9.5.6 fail to validate the source of sync messages and only allow the correct remote IDs, which allows a malicious remote to set arbitrary RemoteId values for synced users and therefore claim that a user was synced from another remote.

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.0, 9.5.x <= 9.5.6, 9.7.x <= 9.7.5 and 9.8.x <= 9.8.1 fail to disallow the modification of local channels by a remote, when shared channels are enabled, which allows a malicious remote to make an arbitrary local channel read-only.

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.0, 9.5.x <= 9.5.6 fail to properly restrict channel creation which allows a malicious remote to create arbitrary channels, when shared channels were enabled.

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.0, 9.5.x <= 9.5.6, 9.7.x <= 9.7.5 and 9.8.x <= 9.8.1 fail to properly validate that the channel that comes from the sync message is a shared channel, when shared channels are enabled, which allows a malicious remote to add users to arbitrary teams and channels

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.0, 9.5.x <= 9.5.6 fail to properly validate synced reactions, when shared channels are enabled, which allows a malicious remote to create arbitrary reactions on arbitrary posts
