CVE-2026-44780 Details
Description
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. From versions 2026.1.0-latest to before 2026.1.4, 2026.3.0-latest to before 2026.3.1, and 2026.4.0-latest to before 2026.4.1, ReviewableQueuedPostSerializer unconditionally included payload["raw_email"] for posts that arrived via incoming email. Category moderation group members reaching the review queue could therefore read the full inbound email source (headers, sender trace, MUA, body) without being in view_raw_email_allowed_groups — the trust boundary that gates the dedicated raw-email endpoint. This issue has been patched in versions 2026.1.4, 2026.3.1, 2026.4.1, and 2026.5.0-latest.1.
A vulnerability in Discourse's ReviewableQueuedPostSerializer allows category moderation group members to access full inbound email sources from posts received via email. This issue affects Discourse versions 2026.1.0-latest to prior to 2026.1.4, 2026.3.0-latest to prior to 2026.3.1, and 2026.4.0-latest to prior to 2026.4.1. The vulnerability arises because the serializer unconditionally included raw email payloads, bypassing the trust boundary that controls access to the raw-email endpoint. As a result, moderators could read email headers, sender information, and the email body without the necessary permissions.
Users are advised to upgrade to Discourse versions 2026.1.4, 2026.3.1, 2026.4.1, or 2026.5.0-latest.1.
