# CVE-2024-39777: Mattermost allows unsolicited invites to expose access to local channels

**Signal:** Critical, preconditions apply. Severe if exploited, but exploitation needs conditions that may not apply to you. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 0.4% , percentile 29: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.4% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 29% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs an account (high (admin)). Exposure depends on who can log in.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go) >= 9.9.0, < 9.9.1, fixed in 9.9.1 ; github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go) >= 9.5.0, < 9.5.7, fixed in 9.5.7 ; github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go) >= 9.7.0, < 9.7.6, fixed in 9.7.6 ; github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go) >= 9.8.0, < 9.8.1, fixed in 9.8.1 .
