Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Mattermost versions 11.3.0 and earlier, 11.2.x through 11.2.2, and 10.11.x through 10.11.10 fail to sanitize client-supplied post metadata. An authenticated attacker can use crafted post update requests to spoof permalink embeds that impersonate other users. Upgrade to 10.11.11, 11.2.3, or 11.3.1, matching your release line.
