Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to 2026.1.6, 2026.5.2, 2026.6.1, and 2026.7.0, hidden or otherwise unviewable first-post content was leaked as an excerpt in the publicly-served Q&A (QAPage) JSON-LD structured data, exposing it to any unauthenticated visitor and to search-engine crawlers. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.1.6, 2026.5.2, 2026.6.1, and 2026.7.0.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a Discourse instance where at least one topic has its first post set to a hidden or unviewable state via Discourse's moderation system (for example, a post flagged and suppressed by moderator action or automated thresholds). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 5.3 Medium score with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N reflects the ease of access - any unauthenticated HTTP request to an affected topic page retrieves the disclosure - but the C:L impact rating correctly reflects that only partial content (first-post excerpts) is exposed, not full database contents or credentials. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade Discourse to one of the patched releases: 2026.1.6 on the stable track, 2026.5.2 on the beta track, 2026.6.1 on the tests-passed track, or 2026.7.0. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
