DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Versions prior to 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 have a lack of visibility checks with a user action API endpoint that results in disclosure of the title and post excerpt to unauthorized users, leading to information disclosure. Versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch. No known workarounds are available.

AnalysisAI

Unauthorized information disclosure in Discourse discussion platform versions prior to 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 allows unauthenticated attackers to view restricted post titles and excerpts through inadequate permission validation on user action API endpoints. The vulnerability affects all deployments running vulnerable versions, with no available workarounds until patching to the fixed releases.

Technical ContextAI

Information disclosure occurs when an application inadvertently reveals sensitive data to unauthorized actors through error messages, logs, or improper access controls.
