AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2026-30831, organizations should immediately upgrade Rocket.Chat to one of the patched versions: 7.10.8, 7.11.5, 7.12.5, 7.13.4, 8.0.2, 8.1.1, or 8.2.0. Until upgrades are applied, restrict network access to the DDP Streamer service to trusted internal networks or VPNs to reduce exposure. Implement additional monitoring and alerting for suspicious login attempts, especially those bypassing 2FA or involving deactivated accounts. Review and audit user account statuses regularly to detect unauthorized access. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect anomalous authentication patterns targeting the DDP Streamer endpoint. Educate administrators and users about the importance of applying security patches promptly. Finally, conduct penetration testing and vulnerability assessments post-patching to ensure the vulnerability is fully remediated and no residual issues remain.

Description

Rocket.Chat is an open-source, secure, fully customizable communications platform. Prior to versions 7.10.8, 7.11.5, 7.12.5, 7.13.4, 8.0.2, 8.1.1, and 8.2.0, authentication vulnerabilities exist in Rocket.Chat's enterprise DDP Streamer service. The Account.login method exposed through the DDP Streamer does not enforce Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) or validate user account status (deactivated users can still login), despite these checks being mandatory in the standard Meteor login flow. This issue has been patched in versions 7.10.8, 7.11.5, 7.12.5, 7.13.4, 8.0.2, 8.1.1, and 8.2.0.
