description

Mattermost 11.7.9 and earlier 11.7.x releases, 11.8.5 and earlier 11.8.x releases, 11.9.1 and earlier 11.9.x releases, and 11.10.0 are affected. An authenticated SAML user may join teams, including invite-only teams, without valid authorization by altering RelayState data. SAML authentication is required.

mitigation

Upgrade Mattermost to a vendor release that is newer than the affected release in your supported version line. Until upgraded, restrict SAML access to trusted users and review team membership for unauthorized additions.
