AI-suggested

  1. Immediately restrict or monitor the sharing of OAuth2 connection links within the organization to prevent malicious link propagation.
  2. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on user display names at the application level, if possible, as a temporary control.
  3. Educate users to be cautious about clicking on unexpected or suspicious OAuth2 links, especially those received from internal users.
  4. Apply network-level protections such as Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the impact of injected scripts.
  5. Monitor logs and user activity for unusual behavior indicative of exploitation attempts, such as unexpected OAuth2 link visits or changes in display names.
  6. Coordinate with Mattermost and Atlassian to obtain and deploy the official patch for the Confluence plugin version 1.7.0 or later as soon as it becomes available.
  7. Review and tighten Confluence user permissions to limit the ability to set or change display names arbitrarily.
  8. Consider isolating or sandboxing the plugin environment to reduce the scope of potential XSS impact.

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
