unauthenticated attacker who knows a valid user ID to issue authenticated GET and POST requests to the Jira server via crafted plugin payloads that spoof the user ID and inject arbitrary issue key paths. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2025-00555
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Directly addresses the plugin's failure to enforce authentication and issue-key path restrictions, preventing unauthenticated spoofed requests to the Jira server.
Strengthens identification and authentication for organizational users, mitigating user ID spoofing that enables authenticated requests on behalf of legitimate users.
Validates inputs in plugin payloads to block injection of arbitrary issue key paths by unauthenticated attackers.
Security SummaryAI
CVE-2025-14273 is a vulnerability in the Mattermost Jira plugin that fails to enforce authentication and issue-key path restrictions. It affects Mattermost versions 11.1.x up to and including 11.1.0, 11.0.x up to and including 11.0.5, 10.12.x up to and including 10.12.3, and 10.11.x up to and including 10.11.7 when the Jira plugin versions up to and including 4.4.0 is enabled. The issue, tied to CWE-303 (Incorrect Implementation of Authentication and Session Management), has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:L) and is documented under Mattermost Advisory ID MMSA-2025-00555.
An unauthenticated attacker who knows a valid Mattermost user ID can exploit this by crafting plugin payloads that spoof the user ID and inject arbitrary issue key paths. This enables the attacker to issue authenticated GET and POST requests to the connected Jira server on behalf of the spoofed user, potentially allowing unauthorized access or manipulation of Jira issues.
