CVE-2025-69218

Discourse is an open source discussion platform. In versions prior to 3.5.4, 2025.11.2, 2025.12.1, and 2026.1.0, moderators can access the `top_uploads` admin report which should be restricted to admins only. This report displays direct URLs to all uploaded files on the site, including sensitive content such as user data exports, admin backups, and other private attachments that moderators should not have access to. This issue is patched in versions 3.5.4, 2025.11.2, 2025.12.1, and 2026.1.0. There is no workaround. Limit moderator privileges to trusted users until the patch is applied.

Summary
  • (es) Discourse es una plataforma de discusión de código abierto. En versiones anteriores a la 3.5.4, 2025.11.2, 2025.12.1 y 2026.1.0, los moderadores pueden acceder al informe de administrador 'top_uploads' que debería estar restringido solo a administradores. Este informe muestra URLs directas a todos los archivos subidos en el sitio, incluyendo contenido sensible como exportaciones de datos de usuario, copias de seguridad de administrador y otros archivos adjuntos privados a los que los moderadores no deberían tener acceso. Este problema está parcheado en las versiones 3.5.4, 2025.11.2, 2025.12.1 y 2026.1.0. No hay solución alternativa. Limite los privilegios de moderador a usuarios de confianza hasta que se aplique el parche.
