Description
Mattermost versions 10.10.x <= 10.10.1 fail to properly sanitize user data during shared channel membership synchronization, which allows malicious or compromised remote clusters to access sensitive user information via unsanitized user objects. This vulnerability affects Mattermost Server instances with shared channels enabled.

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 8.0.0-20250729073403-517ae758cd02 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-9076 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.
