CVE-2026-22880
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 · uneditedMattermost Mobile Apps versions <=2.37 11.4 2.0.37 11.0.4 11.1.3 11.3.2 10.11.11.0 fail to properly validate the SSO authentication callback origin which allows an attacker controlling a malicious Mattermost server to steal user credentials for a legitimate Mattermost server via relaying the SSO code exchange flow through the mobile application.

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 · high confidenceThe Mattermost mobile apps fail to validate the origin of SSO authentication callbacks, allowing a malicious server to relay the OAuth code exchange flow through the mobile application and steal user credentials for a legitimate Mattermost server.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed Mattermost Mobile App versionOpen the Mattermost mobile app and navigate to Settings > About to view the version number. Alternatively, check the app version in your device settings (iOS: Settings > Apps > Mattermost > Version; Android: Settings > Apps > Mattermost > App version).Affected if Installed version is below 2.37 for the 2.x version line or below 11.4 for the 11.x version line (or below the equivalent threshold for your version branch)
-
Determine if OAuth-based SSO is configuredIdentify whether the Mattermost server you connect to uses OAuth authentication for login. This can be done by attempting an SSO login through the mobile app, checking the server login page for OAuth options (such as GitHub, Google, OIDC), or consulting your server administrator.Affected if The connected Mattermost server supports or requires OAuth-based SSO for user authentication
-
Confirm mobile app OAuth usageVerify that you authenticate to your Mattermost server through the mobile app using SSO. The vulnerability is only exploitable during an OAuth authentication flow initiated from the mobile application.Affected if You use the mobile app to log in via OAuth SSO rather than using the web interface or a different authentication method
You are affected if your Mattermost Mobile App version falls below the fixed releases AND you authenticate to your Mattermost server using OAuth-based SSO from within the mobile application.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor data2.37.1
Upgrade Mattermost mobile apps to the latest version when available. Users should ensure they only connect to trusted, legitimate Mattermost servers through the mobile application.
