CVE-2021-41082

Private message title and participating users leaked in discourse

Published Sep 20, 2021 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 1.8% KEV · Not listed
Description
Discourse is a platform for community discussion. In affected versions any private message that includes a group had its title and participating user exposed to users that do not have access to the private messages. However, access control for the private messages was not compromised as users were not able to view the posts in the leaked private message despite seeing it in their inbox. The problematic commit was reverted around 32 minutes after it was made. Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest commit if they are running Discourse against the `tests-passed` branch.
