CVE-2026-28282

Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Versions prior to 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 have a security flaw in the discourse-policy plugin which allowed a user with policy creation permission to gain membership access to any private/restricted groups. Once membership to a private/restricted group has been obtained, the user will be able to read private topics that only the group has access to. Versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch. As a workaround, review all policies for the use of `add-users-to-group` and temporarily remove the attribute from the policy. Alternatively, disable the discourse-policy plugin by disabling the `policy_enabled` site setting.

Summary
  • (es) Discourse es una plataforma de discusión de código abierto. Las versiones anteriores a 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1 y 2026.1.2 tienen una falla de seguridad en el plugin discourse-policy que permitía a un usuario con permiso de creación de políticas obtener acceso de membresía a cualquier grupo privado/restringido. Una vez que se ha obtenido la membresía a un grupo privado/restringido, el usuario podrá leer temas privados a los que solo el grupo tiene acceso. Las versiones 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1 y 2026.1.2 contienen un parche. Como solución alternativa, revise todas las políticas para el uso de 'add-users-to-group' y elimine temporalmente el atributo de la política. Alternativamente, deshabilite el plugin discourse-policy deshabilitando la configuración del sitio 'policy_enabled'.
