Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Mattermost does not strip embeds from metadata when broadcasting posted events.

This allows users to include arbitrary embeds in posts, which are then broadcasted via websockets. This can be exploited in many ways, for example to create permalinks with fully customizable content or to trigger a client Side Denial of Service (DoS) by sending a permalink with a non-string message.

The advisory metadata references the appropriate go pseudo version available from pkg.go.dev

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 to 8.0.0-20240806094731-69a8b3df0f9f or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-47003 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Cap what an attacker can consume: apply request size, rate and timeout limits in front of the affected component, and run it with memory and CPU limits so exhaustion degrades one worker rather than the whole service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mattermost does not strip `embeds` from `metadata` when broadcasting `posted` events. This allows users to include arbitrary embeds in posts, which are then broadcasted via websockets. This can be exploited in many ways, for example to create permalinks with fully customizable content or to trigger a client Side Denial of Service (DoS) by sending a permalink with a non-string message.
