**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Mattermost Desktop App versions prior to 6.1
Mattermost Desktop App version 5.5.13.0
**Description**
The application fails to restrict the allow list of domains for NTLM credential forwarding. This allows a user on a server where the image proxy is disabled to intercept other users' credentials by embedding an image that routes to an external web server. NTLM (NT LAN Manager) is a suite of security protocols used to authenticate users.
**Recommendations**
Update Mattermost Desktop App to a version later than 6.1.
Update Mattermost Desktop App to a version later than 5.5.13.0.
Enable the image proxy on the server to prevent the interception of credentials via embedded images.
