{"id":"BIT-discourse-2022-24850","summary":"Category group permissions leaked in Discourse","details":"Discourse is an open source platform for community discussion. A category's group permissions settings can be viewed by anyone that has access to the category. As a result, a normal user is able to see whether a group has read/write permissions in the category even though the information should only be available to the users that can manage a category. This issue is patched in the latest stable, beta and tests-passed versions of Discourse. There are no workarounds for this problem.","aliases":["CVE-2022-24850","GHSA-34xr-ff4w-mcpf"],"modified":"2025-10-08T05:27:24.520294Z","published":"2024-03-06T11:06:14.695Z","database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:discourse:discourse:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"severity":"Medium"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-34xr-ff4w-mcpf"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-24850"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"discourse","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/discourse"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.8.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/discourse/BIT-discourse-2022-24850.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N"}]}],"schema_version":"1.7.3"}
