Mattermost SSRF before v11.3.0 via IPv4-mapped IPv6
CVE-2026-2455 Published on March 16, 2026
SSRF bypass via IPv4-mapped IPv6 literals
Mattermost versions 11.3.x <= 11.3.0, 11.2.x <= 11.2.2, 10.11.x <= 10.11.10 fail to canonicalize IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses before reserved IP validation which allows an attacker to perform SSRF attacks against internal services via IPv4-mapped IPv6 literals (e.g., [::ffff:127.0.0.1]).. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00585

Weakness Type
What is a SSRF Vulnerability?
The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. By providing URLs to unexpected hosts or ports, attackers can make it appear that the server is sending the request, possibly bypassing access controls such as firewalls that prevent the attackers from accessing the URLs directly. The server can be used as a proxy to conduct port scanning of hosts in internal networks, use other URLs such as that can access documents on the system (using file://), or use other protocols such as gopher:// or tftp://, which may provide greater control over the contents of requests.
CVE-2026-2455 has been classified to as a SSRF vulnerability or weakness.
