Description

Discourse is an open source discussion platform. A privilege escalation vulnerability in versions prior to 3.5.4, 2025.11.2, 2025.12.1, and 2026.1.0 allows a non-admin moderator to bypass email-change restrictions, allowing a takeover of non-staff accounts. This issue is patched in versions 3.5.4, 2025.11.2, 2025.12.1, and 2026.1.0. As a workaround, ensure moderators are trusted or enable the "require_change_email_confirmation" setting.

Affected configurations

• discourse discourse (< 3.5.4) • discourse discourse (>= 2025.11.0 < 2025.11.2) • discourse discourse 2025.12.0 • discourse discourse 2026.1.0
