Mattermost doesn't enforce PermissionInviteUser when setting AllowOpenInvite or AllowedDomains during team creation

Quick fix

GHSA-c28q-m4gf-vg4q — github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

go get github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server@v11.6.1

Details

Mattermost versions 11.6.x <= 11.6.1, 11.5.x <= 11.5.4, 10.11.x <= 10.11.15, 10.11.x <= 10.11.16 Fail to enforce PermissionInviteUser when setting AllowOpenInvite or AllowedDomains during team creation (the check was only applied on update/patch), which allows an authenticated user holding PermissionCreateTeam but not PermissionInviteUser on the resulting team to configure invite-controlled team settings (make the team publicly joinable via open invite and/or constrain membership via allowed domains) that they are not permitted to set on an existing team via POST /api/v4/teams with allow_open_invite: true and/or a non-empty allowed_domains in the request body..
