The version of Mattermost Server running on the remote host is 7.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An authenticated, remote attacker can upload a specially crafted GIF file when creating a post which causes resource exhaustion on the host.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
