CVE-2026-44782 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, GroupPostSerializer declared include_user_long_name? as the predicate for its :name attribute, but AMS looks for include_name?. The misnamed predicate was never called, so object.user.name was always serialized regardless of SiteSetting.enable_names. 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 GroupPostSerializer allows for the unintentional exposure of hidden full names through the reaction post association. 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 problem arises because the serializer incorrectly declared 'include_user_long_name?' as the predicate for the 'name' attribute, while Active Model Serializers (AMS) expects 'include_name?'. As a result, the misnamed predicate was never utilized, leading to 'object.user.name' being serialized regardless of the 'SiteSetting.enable_names' configuration.
Users can upgrade to Discourse versions 2026.1.4, 2026.3.1, 2026.4.1, or 2026.5.0-latest.1 to address this vulnerability.
