CVE-2022-24850: Discourse

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Discourse is an open source platform for community discussion. A category's group permissions settings can be viewed by anyone that has access to the category. As a result, a normal user is able to see whether a group has read/write permissions in the category even though the information should only be available to the users that can manage a category. This issue is patched in the latest stable, beta and tests-passed versions of Discourse. There are no workarounds for this problem.

Affected products

• Discourse Discourse: before 2.8.2 (fixed in 2.8.2); version 2.9.0 only
