Real-World Exposure
github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8🐹github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8🐹github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-msteamsReal-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 Plugin MSTeams versions <2.1.0 and Mattermost Server versions 10.5.x <=10.5.1 with the MS Teams plugin enabled fail to perform constant time comparison on a MSTeams plugin webhook secret which allows an attacker to retrieve the webhook secret of the MSTeams plugin via a timing attack during webhook secret comparison.

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 10.5.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-2j87-p623-8cc2 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
