Update github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server to 11.6.1; github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server to 11.5.4; github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server to 11.4.5; github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server to 10.11.15 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in go. A high vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
