CVE-2026-32620 Details
Description
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. From versions 2026.1.0-latest to before 2026.1.3, 2026.2.0-latest to before 2026.2.2, and 2026.3.0-latest to before 2026.3.0, non-staff users could access read receipt information for staff-only posts they weren't supposed to see. No post content was exposed, only metadata about who read the post and when. This issue has been patched in versions 2026.1.3, 2026.2.2, and 2026.3.0.
A vulnerability in Discourse allows non-staff users to access read receipt information for staff-only posts they were not supposed to see. This issue affects Discourse versions 2026.1.0-latest prior to 2026.1.3, 2026.2.0-latest prior to 2026.2.2, and 2026.3.0-latest prior to 2026.3.0. The vulnerability arises from a lack of proper post-level authorization, which has been addressed in the patched versions by adding a necessary authorization check before returning reader data.
Users can upgrade to Discourse versions 2026.1.3, 2026.2.2, or 2026.3.0 to address this vulnerability.
