CVE-2023-29196 – HTML injection via topic embedding in Discourse
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-29196
Discourse is an open source platform for community discussion. This vulnerability is not exploitable on the default install of Discourse. A custom feature must be enabled for it to work at all, and the attacker’s payload must pass the CSP to be executed. However, if an attacker succeeds in embedding Javascript that does pass the CSP, it could result in session hijacking for any users that view the attacker’s post. The vulnerability is patched in the latest tests-passed, beta and stable branches. • https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-986p-4x8q-8f48 • CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') •

CVE-2023-28112 – Discourse's SSRF protection missing for some FastImage requests
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-28112
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to version 3.1.0.beta3 of the `beta` and `tests-passed` branches, some user provided URLs were being passed to FastImage without SSRF protection. Insufficient protections could enable attackers to trigger outbound network connections from the Discourse server to private IP addresses. This affects any site running the `tests-passed` or `beta` branches versions 3.1.0.beta2 and prior. This issue is patched in version 3.1.0.beta3 of the `beta` and `tests-passed` branches. • https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/39c2f63b35d90ebaf67b9604cf1d424e5984203c https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/20710 https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-9897-x229-55gh • CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) •

CVE-2023-28107 – Discourse vulnerable to multisite DoS by spamming backups
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-28107
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to version 3.0.2 of the `stable` branch and version 3.1.0.beta3 of the `beta` and `tests-passed` branches, a user logged as an administrator can request backups multiple times, which will eat up all the connections to the DB. If this is done on a site using multisite, then it can affect the whole cluster. The vulnerability is patched in version 3.0.2 of the `stable` branch and version 3.1.0.beta3 of the `beta` and `tests-passed` branches.
