Summary
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform with a vulnerability in versions from 2026.1.0 to before 2026.1.4, from 2026.3.0 to before 2026.3.1, and from 2026.4.0 to before 2026.4.1. The DetailedTagSerializer#tag_group_names function returned all tag groups a tag belonged to without considering the user's visibility, allowing anonymous and unprivileged users to access the names of tag groups restricted to specific user groups.
Risk Assessment
The organization may be exposed to the disclosure of information about tag groups intended only for selected users, which could lead to privacy breaches and data security issues.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Discourse to versions 2026.1.4, 2026.3.1, 2026.4.1, or 2026.5.0-latest.1 to mitigate this vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in Discourse
See all- CVE-2026-53960Medium
Discourse before versions 2026.1.6, 2026.5.2, 2026.6.1, and 2026.7.0 leaked hidden or otherwise unviewable first-post content 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.
- CVE-2026-72731High
Discourse has an SQL injection vulnerability in the Data Explorer plugin, allowing arbitrary SQL execution via query parameters, even by unprivileged users.
- CVE-2026-72726Medium
Discourse, an open-source discussion platform, prior to versions 2026.1.6, 2026.5.2, 2026.6.1, and 2026.7.0 allowed an authenticated user to eavesdrop on private AI bot conversations through the AI bot reply stream.
- CVE-2026-72721Medium
Discourse prior to versions 2026.1.6, 2026.5.2, 2026.6.1, and 2026.7.0 in Onebox::DomainChecker.is_blocked? compares hostnames and SiteSetting.blocked_onebox_domains entries case-sensitively, allowing an attacker to bypass configured Onebox domain restrictions by changing character casing in a redirect target hostname.
- CVE-2026-23743High
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.
- CVE-2025-68662High
Discourse, an open source discussion platform, contains a vulnerability in versions prior to 3.5.4, 2025.11.2, 2025.12.1, and 2026.1.0. The issue involves hostname validation in the FinalDestination component, which could allow bypassing SSRF protections under certain conditions.
- CVE-2025-68479High
Discourse is an open source discussion platform. In versions prior to 3.5.4, 2025.11.2, 2025.12.1, and 2026.1.0, some subscription endpoints lack proper checking for ownership before making changes. This issue is patched in versions 3.5.4, 2025.11.2, 2025.12.1, and 2026.1.0.
- CVE-2026-55674Critical
Prior to versions 2026.1.6, 2026.5.2, 2026.6.1, and 2026.7.0 in Discourse, an unauthenticated attacker could send a single request with a crafted color_scheme_id (or dark_scheme_id) cookie to inject arbitrary HTML into a Discourse page. Because the cookie value was rendered into a color scheme tag without escaping, the attacker could break out of the attribute and inject a tag that bypassed Discourse's nonce-based Content Security Policy, resulting in arbitrary JavaScript execution in visitors' browsers.
- CVE-2026-59829Medium
In Discourse prior to 2026.1.6, 2026.5.2, 2026.6.1, and 2026.7.1, on sites with category group moderation enabled, the review queue could include an excerpt (and permalink) of the private message attached to a flag, even when the reviewing category moderator was not a participant in that message. These notify_moderators flag messages are addressed only to moderators and, for core flags, to a category's moderation groups as they existed when the flag was raised, so a category group moderator could read flag-discussion content they were not authorized to see. This affects official plugins that create such messages and core flags raised before a moderator's group was granted moderation of the category. Only the confidentiality of a limited excerpt of these flag-related private messages is affected; no content can be modified or deleted.
- CVE-2026-55704Medium
In Discourse prior to 2026.1.6, 2026.5.2, 2026.6.1, and 2026.7.0, users who were allowed to view a group's activity, but were not permitted to see shared drafts, could still receive shared-draft entries through the group posts and group mentions endpoints. This could disclose shared-draft topic titles and post excerpt/content, resulting in an information disclosure of unpublished draft material.
Original NVD description (English source)
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. From versions 2026.1.0-latest to before 2026.1.4, 2026.3.0-latest to before 2026.3.1, and 2026.4.0-latest to before 2026.4.1, DetailedTagSerializer#tag_group_names returned every tag group a tag belonged to without filtering against the requesting user's visibility. With SiteSetting.tags_listed_by_group enabled, anonymous and unprivileged users hitting TagsController#info (which is exempt from requires_login) could read the names of tag groups restricted to specific user groups or non-visible categories. This issue has been patched in versions 2026.1.4, 2026.3.1, 2026.4.1, and 2026.5.0-latest.1.
