Descriptions

Mattermost 6.1 and earlier fails to sufficiently validate permissions while viewing archived channels, which allows authenticated users to view contents of archived channels even when this is denied by system administrators by directly accessing the APIs.

Mattermost versiones 6.1 y anteriores no comprueban suficientemente los permisos mientras son visualizados los canales archivados, lo que permite a usuarios autenticados visualizar el contenido de los canales archivados incluso cuando los administradores del sistema lo deniegan al acceder directamente a las API
