Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Mattermost Mobile Apps versions <=2.16.0 fail to validate that the push notifications received for a server actually came from this serve that which allows a malicious server to send push notifications with another server’s diagnostic ID or server URL and have them show up in mobile apps as that server’s push notifications.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Mattermost Mobile Apps versions 2.16.0 and earlier fail to validate the authenticity of push notification origin, allowing a malicious server to impersonate a legitimate server by sending notifications containing another server's diagnostic ID or server URL. The mobile app displays these spoofed notifications as if they came from the legitimate server.

MitigationUpdate Mattermost Mobile Apps to a version newer than 2.16.0, which should include proper server validation for push notifications.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check installed Mattermost Mobile version
    On iOS: Open App Store > Tap profile icon > Tap 'Apps' > Find Mattermost and view version. On Android: Open Play Store > Tap profile > Tap 'Manage apps & games' > Find Mattermost and view version.
    Affected if Installed version is 2.16.0 or earlier (any version below 2.17.0)
  2. Verify push notifications are enabled
    Open Mattermost Mobile app > Go to Settings (gear icon) > Notifications > Confirm 'Enable Notifications' toggle is turned ON.
    Affected if Push notifications are enabled - this is required for the vulnerability to be exploitable
  3. Check server connection configuration
    In Mattermost Mobile, go to Settings > About Mattermost > Server Version to confirm which server the app is connected to.
    Affected if Connected to any Mattermost server while using a vulnerable app version with notifications enabled

You are affected if the Mattermost Mobile app version is 2.16.0 or earlier AND push notifications are enabled on the device.
