    to properly validate OAuth state tokens during OpenID Connect authentication which allows an 
    authenticated attacker with team creation privileges to take over a user account via manipulation 
    of authentication data during the OAuth completion flow. This requires email verification to be 
    disabled (default: disabled), OAuth/OpenID Connect to be enabled, and the attacker to control two 
    users in the SSO system with one of them never having logged into Mattermost. (CVE-2025-12419)
