CVE-2026-23743

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Discourse versions prior to 3.5.4, 2025.11.2, 2025.12.1, and 2026.1.0, permalinks pointing to access-restricted resources (private topics, categories, posts, or hidden tags) were redirecting users to URLs containing the resource slug, even when the user didn't have access to view the resource. This leaked potentially sensitive information (e.g., private topic titles) via the redirect Location header and the 404 page's search box.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of exposing confidential information (e.g., private topic titles) to unauthorized users, potentially compromising data confidentiality and user trust.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately upgrade Discourse to one of the patched versions: 3.5.4, 2025.11.2, 2025.12.1, or 2026.1.0. No workarounds are available.
