  - Mattermost versions 10.5.x <= 10.5.7, 9.11.x <= 9.11.16 fail to negotiate a new token when accepting the
    invite which allows a user that intercepts both invite and password to send synchronization payloads to
    the server that originally created the invite via the REST API. (CVE-2025-6227)
