📋 Description

Mattermost fails to check if a custom emoji reaction exists when sending it to a post and to limit the amount of custom emojis allowed to be added in a post, allowing an attacker sending a huge amount of non-existent custom emojis in a post to crash the mobile app of a user seeing the post. Fetching posts with huge amounts of reactions results in Uncontrolled Resource Consumption.
