Discourse Allows Unauthorized Access to Deleted Posts Index via Group Membership

Published Mar 20, 2026 · Updated Mar 25, 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, a non-staff user with elevated group membership could access deleted posts belonging to any user due to an overly broad authorization check on the deleted posts index endpoint. Versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch. No known workarounds are available.
