Discourse is an open-source community discussion platform. In versions 3.5.0 and below, malicious meta-commands could be embedded in a backup dump and executed during restore.

Analysis
Discourse is an open-source community discussion platform. In versions 3.5.0 and below, malicious meta-commands could be embedded in a backup dump and executed during restore. In multisite setups, this allowed an admin of one site to access data or credentials from other sites. This issue is fixed in version 3.5.1.
Technical ContextAI
Command injection allows an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the host system through a vulnerable application that passes user input to system shells.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Avoid passing user input to system commands. Use language-specific APIs instead of shell commands. If unavoidable, use strict input validation and escaping.
