  - Mattermost versions 11.7.x <= 11.7.6, 11.8.x <= 11.8.3 The access control policy unassign endpoint
    fails to re-validate that each target channel still belongs to the requesting admin's team, which
    allows an authenticated team administrator to remove ABAC (attribute-based access control) policy
    assignments from channels outside their team via the policy unassign API after a channel has been
    moved to another team. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00718. (CVE-2026-15754)
