Discourse prevents hidden profile data leak via user onebox
Summary
Discourse prevents hidden profile data leak via user onebox
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to versions 2026.3.0, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2, when a user has hide_profile enabled, their bio, location, and website were still exposed through the user onebox preview. An authenticated user could request a onebox for a hidden user's profile URL and receive their hidden profile fields (bio, location, website) in the response. Versions 2026.3.0, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch. No known workarounds are available.
