Summary

In Discourse prior to versions 2026.6.0, 2026.5.1, 2026.4.2, and 2026.1.5, the signup flow allowed newly registered users to set primary_group_id and gain whisper-group privileges without legitimate group membership on sites with whispers_allowed_groups configured.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that unauthorized users can access confidential whisper content and escalate privileges, compromising the integrity and confidentiality of platform communications.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade Discourse to one of the fixed versions: 2026.6.0, 2026.5.1, 2026.4.2, or 2026.1.5.
