Mattermost versions 8.1.x before 8.1.12, 9.6.x before 9.6.1, 9.5.x before 9.5.3, 9.4.x before 9.4.5 fail to limit the number of active sessions, which allows an authenticated attacker to crash the server via repeated requests to the getSessions API after flooding the sessions table.

Mattermost versions 9.6.0, 9.5.x before 9.5.3, 9.4.x before 9.4.5, and 8.1.x before 8.1.12 fail to handle JSON parsing errors in custom status values, which allows an authenticated attacker to crash other users' web clients via a malformed custom status.

Mattermost versions 9.5.x <= 9.5.3, 9.6.x <= 9.6.1, 8.1.x <= 8.1.12 fail to restrict the audience of the "customplaybooksplaybookrunupdated" webhook event, which allows a guest on a channel with a playbook run linked to see all the details of the playbook run when the run is marked by finished.

Mattermost versions 9.5.x <= 9.5.3, 9.7.x <= 9.7.1, 9.6.x <= 9.6.1 and 8.1.x <= 8.1.12 fail to check if the email signup configuration option is enabled when a user requests to switch from SAML to Email. This allows the user to switch their authentication mail from SAML to email and possibly edit personal details that were otherwise non-editable and provided by the SAML provider.
