Mattermost Desktop App versions <=6.1 6.0.1 5.4.13.0 fail to prevent server-rendered content from closing an underlying application view in the Mattermost Desktop App which allows a malicious server or plugin to crash the desktop client via invoking {{window.close()}} in the renderer context, leading to a denial of service condition at the client level. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00633
Mattermost Desktop App versions <=6.1 6.0.1 5.4.13.0 fail to prevent an invalid URL from loading in a pop-up window in the Mattermost Desktop App which allows a malicious server owner to repeated crash the application via calling {{window.open('javascript:alert()');}}. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00618
Mattermost Desktop App versions <=5.13.3 fail to attach listeners restricting navigation to external sites within the Mattermost app which allows a malicious server to expose preload script functionality to untrusted servers via having a user open an external link in their Mattermost server. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00596
Mattermost Desktop App versions <6.0.0 fail to enable the Hardened Runtime on the Mattermost Desktop App when packaged for Mac App Store which allows an attacker to inherit TCC permissions via copying the binary to a tmp folder.
Mattermost Desktop App versions <6.0.0 fail to sanitize sensitive information from Mattermost logs and clear data on server deletion which allows an attacker with access to the users system to gain access to potentially sensitive information via reading the application logs.
Mattermost Desktop App versions <=5.13.0 fail to manage modals in the Mattermost Desktop App that stops a user with a server that uses basic authentication from accessing their server which allows an attacker that provides a malicious server to the user to deny use of the Desktop App via having the user configure the malicious server and forcing a modal popup that cannot be closed.
Mattermost Desktop App versions <= 5.13.0 fail to validate URLs external to the configured Mattermost servers, allowing an attacker on a server the user has configured to crash the user's application by sending the user a malformed URL.
Mattermost Desktop App versions <=5.10.0 explicitly declared unnecessary macOS entitlements which allows an attacker with remote access to bypass Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) via code injection.
Mattermost Desktop App versions <=5.8.0 fail to safeguard screen capture functionality which allows an attacker to silently capture high-quality screenshots via JavaScript APIs.
Mattermost Desktop App versions <=5.8.0 fail to sufficiently configure Electron Fuses which allows an attacker to gather Chromium cookies or abuse other misconfigurations via remote/local access.
