CVE-2026-4339 Mattermost CVE debrief
CVE-2026-4339 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting Mattermost Server versions 10.11.x <= 10.11.18, 11.6.x <= 11.6.3, and 11.5.x <= 11.5.6. The vulnerability is caused by a failure to validate attachment URLs against internal or private IP ranges in the Mattermost Agents plugin MCP server. This allows an attacker with access to the MCP server in stdio mode to perform server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks and exfiltrate data from internal network services by supplying internal URLs as file attachments in post creation requests. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.5 and is classified as CWE-918. Mattermost has released an advisory (MMSA-2026-00635) addressing this issue.
