How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2025-9072, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/mattermost/mattermost server:

inspect dependencies for github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/mattermost/mattermost server in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 10.10.2), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect'), where the web application accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site, and uses that link in a redirect. In Github.com/mattermost/mattermost server, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Mattermost versions 10.10.x <= 10.10.1, 10.5.x <= 10.5.9, 10.9.x <= 10.9.4 fail to validate the redirect_to parameter, allowing an attacker to craft a malicious link that, once a user authenticates with their SAML provider, could post the user’s cookies to an attacker-controlled URL.
