CVE-2026-91133
Description
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to 2026.1.8, 2026.6.3, 2026.7.2, and 2026.8.0, authenticated users could supply unescaped SQL LIKE metacharacters to upload-resolution patterns, causing wildcard input to select unrelated upload records instead of matching a literal identifier. The affected upload metadata, URL-lookup, and cooked-video-placeholder paths could resolve uploads the user was not authorized to access. This allowed disclosure of restricted metadata, including original filenames and secure-upload paths, without modifying the upload records. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.1.8, 2026.6.3, 2026.7.2, and 2026.8.0.
