Title
Board channel linking without read channel permission validation
Summary
Mattermost versions 11.7.x <= 11.7.6, 10.11.x <= 10.11.21, 11.8.x <= 11.8.3 fail to validate that users have read access to a channel before linking a board to it, which allows an authenticated attacker to discover the membership of private channels on the same team via creating, patching, importing, or bulk-creating boards with an arbitrary channelId. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00674

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
