Descriptions

Discourse is an open source discussion platform. In versions prior to 2.8.9 on the `stable` branch and prior to 2.9.0.beta10 on the `beta` and `tests-passed` branches, a malicious actor can add large payloads of text into the Location and Website fields of a user profile, which causes issues for other users when loading that profile. A fix to limit the length of user input for these fields is included in version 2.8.9 on the `stable` branch and version 2.9.0.beta10 on the `beta` and `tests-passed` branches. There are no known workarounds.

Discourse es una plataforma de discusión de código abierto. En versiones anteriores a 2.8.9 en la rama "stable" y anteriores a 2.9.0.beta10 en las ramas "beta" y "tests-passed", un actor malicioso puede añadir grandes cargas de texto en los campos Location y Website de un perfil de usuario, lo que causa problemas a otros usuarios cuando es cargado ese perfil. En versión 2.8.9 de la rama "stable" y en la versión 2.9.0.beta10 de las ramas "beta" y "tests-passed" es incluida una corrección para limitar la longitud de la entrada del usuario en estos campos. No se presentan mitigaciones conocidas
