Category group permissions leaked in Discourse

Published Apr 14, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

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.
