- Also known as: GO-2026-4456, GHSA-FFX7-34P2-VM3W
- Severity: CVSS 7.7 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial

- Published: 2026-02-06 · Updated: 2026-02-06

## Affected

- Mattermost Mattermost Confluence Plugin: fixed in 1.7.0
- github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-confluence (Go): fixed in 1.7.0

## Description

Mattermost Confluence plugin version <1.7.0 fails to properly escape user-controlled display names in HTML template rendering which allows authenticated Confluence users with malicious display names to execute arbitrary JavaScript in victim browsers via sending a specially crafted OAuth2 connection link that, when visited, renders the attacker's display name without proper sanitization. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2025-00557
