Information Disclosure in Discourse (CVE-2026-47263)
Summary
Vulnerability in Discourse (CVE-2026-47263). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. From versions 2026.1.0 to before 2026.1.4, 2026.3.0 to before 2026.3.1, and 2026.4.0 to before 2026.4.1, the MessageBus.publish call for /web_hook_events/ in Jobs::RedeliverWebHookEvents did not pass group_ids, leaving the channel readable by any authenticated user (or anonymous user on instances where login_required is disabled). Webhook IDs are sequential integers and trivially enumerable. This issue has been patched in versions 2026.1.4, 2026.3.1, 2026.4.1, and 2026.5.0.
