Description

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.1, 9.5.x <= 9.5.7, 9.10.x <= 9.10.0 and 9.8.x <= 9.8.2 fail to restrict which roles can promote a user as system admin which allows a System Role with edit access to the permissions section of system console to update their role (e.g. member) to include the `manage_system` permission, effectively becoming a System Admin.

Affected configurations

• mattermost mattermost (>= 9.5.0 < 9.5.8) • mattermost mattermost (>= 9.8.0 < 9.8.3) • mattermost mattermost (>= 9.9.0 < 9.9.2) • mattermost mattermost (>= 9.10.0 < 9.10.1)
