Analyst Synthesis

Technical analysis, exploit verification, and patch instructions for CVE-2025-14273 impacting mattermost mattermost_server. Evaluated with CVSS Base Score of 7.2 (HIGH).

Original NVD Description

Source: NIST NVD
Mattermost versions 11.1.x <= 11.1.0, 11.0.x <= 11.0.5, 10.12.x <= 10.12.3, 10.11.x <= 10.11.7 with the Jira plugin enabled and Mattermost Jira plugin versions <=4.4.0 fail to enforce authentication and issue-key path restrictions in the Jira plugin, which allows an unauthenticated attacker who knows a valid user ID to issue authenticated GET and POST requests to the Jira server via crafted plugin payloads that spoof the user ID and inject arbitrary issue key paths. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2025-00555
