FKIE_CVE-2026-33410

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-03-19 22:16 - Updated: 2026-03-24 20:54
Summary
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Versions prior to 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 have two authorization issues in the chat direct message API. First, when creating a direct message channel or adding users to an existing one, the `target_groups` parameter was passed directly to the user resolution query without checking group or member visibility for the acting user. An authenticated chat user could craft an API request with a known private/hidden group name and receive a channel containing that group's members, leaking their identities. Second, `can_chat?` only checked group membership, not the `chat_enabled` user preference. A chat-disabled user could create or query DM channels between other users via the direct messages API, potentially exposing private `last_message` content from the serialized channel response. Versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch. No known workarounds are available.

Las versiones anteriores a 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1 y 2026.1.2 tienen dos problemas de autorizaci\u00f3n en la API de mensajes directos del chat. Primero, al crear un canal de mensajes directos o a\u00f1adir usuarios a uno existente, el par\u00e1metro \u0027target_groups\u0027 se pasaba directamente a la consulta de resoluci\u00f3n de usuarios sin comprobar la visibilidad del grupo o de los miembros para el usuario que actuaba. Un usuario de chat autenticado podr\u00eda elaborar una solicitud de API con un nombre de grupo privado/oculto conocido y recibir un canal que contuviera a los miembros de ese grupo, filtrando sus identidades. Segundo, \u0027can_chat?\u0027 solo comprobaba la pertenencia al grupo, no la preferencia de usuario \u0027chat_enabled\u0027. Un usuario con el chat deshabilitado podr\u00eda crear o consultar canales de MD entre otros usuarios a trav\u00e9s de la API de mensajes directos, exponiendo potencialmente contenido privado de \u0027last_message\u0027 de la respuesta serializada del canal. Las versiones 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1 y 2026.1.2 contienen un parche. No se conocen soluciones alternativas disponibles."
