Discourse vulnerable to HTML injection via prohibited iframe URLs

Published Mar 19, 2026 · Updated Mar 21, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Discourse is an open source discussion platform. Prior to versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1 and 2026.1.2, insufficient cleanup in the default Codepen allowed iframes value allows an attacker to trick a user into changing the URL of the main page. This issue has been fixed in versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1 and 2026.1.2. To workaround this issue, remove Codepen from the list of allowed iframes.
