Upgrade github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 to 10.1.3
github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 fixed: 10.0.3
Upgrade github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 to 10.0.3
github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 fixed: 9.11.5
Upgrade github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 to 9.11.5
github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 fixed: 9.5.13
Upgrade github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 to 9.5.13
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-48872, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8:

inspect dependencies for github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 10.1.3), 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-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition'), where the product contains a concurrent code sequence that requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence operating concurrently. In Github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8, 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 10.1.x <= 10.1.2, 10.0.x <= 10.0.2, 9.11.x <= 9.11.4, and 9.5.x <= 9.5.12 fail to prevent concurrently checking and updating the failed login attempts. which allows an attacker to bypass of "Max failed attempts" restriction and send a big number of login attempts before being blocked via simultaneously sending multiple login requests
