Quick assessment
Affected
Mattermost Mattermost
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
Mattermost 版本 11.10.x（≤ 11.10.0）、11.7.x（≤ 11.7.9）、11.9.x（≤ 11.9.1）以及 11.8.x（≤ 11.8.5）在通过本地图像代理执行直接获取（direct fetches）远程图像时，未能限制缓冲在内存中的远程图像响应大小。该缺陷允许远程攻击者通过构造超大图像响应，导致服务器内存耗尽。Mattermost 安全公告编号：MMSA-2026-00726。

Vulnerability Description
Mattermost versions 11.10.x <= 11.10.0, 11.7.x <= 11.7.9, 11.9.x <= 11.9.1, 11.8.x <= 11.8.5 fail to limit the size of remote image responses buffered in memory during local image proxy direct fetches, which allows a remote attacker to cause memory exhaustion on the server via a crafted oversized image response..
