Descriptions

Discourse Patreon enables syncronization between Discourse Groups and Patreon rewards. On sites with Patreon login enabled, an improper authentication vulnerability could be used to take control of a victim's forum account. This vulnerability is patched in commit number 846d012151514b35ce42a1636c7d70f6dcee879e of the discourse-patreon plugin. Out of an abundance of caution, any Discourse accounts which have logged in with an unverified-email Patreon account will be logged out and asked to verify their email address on their next login. As a workaround, disable the patreon integration and log out all users with associated Patreon accounts.

Discourse Patreon permite la sincronización entre los grupos de Discourse y las recompensas de Patreon. En los sitios con el inicio de sesión de Patreon habilitado, una vulnerabilidad de autenticación inapropiada podría usarse para tomar el control de la cuenta del foro de la víctima. Esta vulnerabilidad está parcheada en el commit número 846d0121514b35ce42a1636c7d70f6dcee879e del plugin discourse-patreon. Por precaución, cualquier cuenta de Discourse que haya iniciado sesión con una cuenta de Patreon con correo electrónico no verificado será cerrada y le pedirá que verifique su dirección de correo electrónico en su próximo inicio de sesión. Como mitigación, deshabilite la integración de Patreon y cierre la sesión de todos los usuarios con cuentas de Patreon asociadas
