AI-powered analysis for quick understanding
This vulnerability allows an attacker to steal sensitive information, like password hashes and multi-factor authentication secrets, from other users by manipulating their profile nickname or during email verification events. The attacker must already be logged in as an authenticated user on the affected versions of Mattermost to exploit this weakness.
Technical Description
Mattermost versions 11.1.x <= 11.1.2, 10.11.x <= 10.11.9, 11.2.x <= 11.2.1 fail to sanitize sensitive data in WebSocket messages which allows authenticated users to exfiltrate password hashes and MFA secrets via profile nickname updates or email verification events.
