Lack of permission check when updating the profile picture of a remote user (shared channels enabled)

Published Jul 3, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024 · Assigned by Mattermost

Description

Mattermost versions 9.5.x <= 9.5.5 and 9.8.0, when using shared channels with multiple remote servers connected, fail to check that the remote server A requesting the server B to update the profile picture of a user is the remote that actually has the user as a local one . This allows a malicious remote A to change the profile images of users that belong to another remote server C that is connected to the server A.
