CVE-2025-13324

Mattermost versions 10.11.x < 10.11.5, 11.0.x < 11.0.4, 10.12.x < 10.12.2 fail to invalidate remote cluster invite tokens when using the legacy (version 1) protocol or when the confirming party does not provide a refreshed token, which allows an attacker who has obtained an invite token to authenticate as the remote cluster and perform limited actions on shared channels even after the invitation has been legitimately confirmed.

The application does not correctly enforce access controls, allowing a principal to access resources or operations beyond their granted permissions. Typical impact: unauthorized data access or execution of privileged operations.

CVE-2025-13324 has a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (10.12.2, 10.11.5, 11.0.4, 8.0.0-20251031095924-e7e23b94e006); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

The application does not correctly enforce access controls, allowing a principal to access resources or operations beyond their granted permissions.
2. How severe is CVE-2025-13324? CVE-2025-13324 has a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
3. Which packages are affected by CVE-2025-13324?
   • github.com/mattermost/mattermost (go) (versions >= 10.12.0, < 10.12.2)
   • github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (go) (versions < 8.0.0-20251031095924-e7e23b94e006)

5. Is CVE-2025-13324 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-13324 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

6. What actually determines whether CVE-2025-13324 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
