Description
Mattermost versions 10.5.x <= 10.5.12, 10.11.x <= 10.11.2 fail to properly validate guest user permissions when accessing channel information which allows guest users to discover active public channels and their metadata via the /api/v4/teams/{team_id}/channels/ids endpoint

Open-source dependencyDetect
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.
Fix
Update github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 to 8.0.0-20250822090405-e8c7e7d0252b or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-41443 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
