Insufficient authorization in shared channel membership sync allows remote cluster to remove users from arbitrary channels

Assigner: Mattermost
Reserved: 10.03.2026 Published: 18.05.2026 Updated: 18.05.2026

Mattermost versions 11.5.x <= 11.5.1, 10.11.x <= 10.11.13, 11.4.x <= 11.4.3 fail to validate that a remote cluster has access to a channel before processing membership removal requests during shared channel membership sync, which allows a malicious remote cluster to remove any user from any channel, including private channels, via crafted membership sync messages targeting channels the remote cluster is not authorized to access.
