CVE-2022-21677

Disclosure Date: January 14, 2022
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

Discourse is an open source discussion platform. Discourse groups can be configured with varying visibility levels for the group as well as the group members. By default, a newly created group has its visibility set to public and the group’s members visibility set to public as well. However, a group’s visibility and the group’s members visibility can be configured such that it is restricted to logged on users, members of the group or staff users. A vulnerability has been discovered in versions prior to 2.7.13 and 2.8.0.beta11 where the group advanced search option does not respect the group’s visibility and members visibility level. As such, a group with restricted visibility or members visibility can be revealed through search with the right search option. This issue is patched in stable version 2.7.13, beta version 2.8.0.beta11, and tests-passed version 2.8.0.beta11 versions of Discourse. There are no workarounds aside from upgrading.
