The vulnerability lies in Mattermost Playbooks' failure to consistently check for view permissions across various API endpoints and application commands that list or interact with playbooks. Several functions responsible for retrieving lists of playbooks for different features (e.g., the main playbook list, autocomplete suggestions, GraphQL queries, and slash commands) did not filter the results based on the user's permissions. This allowed any authenticated user, regardless of their role or team membership, to discover the existence and names of all public playbooks on the Mattermost instance. The security patch addresses this by introducing a new centralized function, FilterPlaybooksByViewPermission, which is now called by all the affected functions to ensure that only playbooks a user is authorized to see are returned. This comprehensive fix ensures that the permission model is enforced consistently across the application.
