Descriptions

Discourse is a platform for community discussion. For fields that are client editable, limits on sizes are not imposed. This allows a malicious actor to cause a Discourse instance to use excessive disk space and also often excessive bandwidth. The issue is patched 3.1.4 and 3.2.0.beta4.

Discourse es una plataforma para la discusión comunitaria. Para los campos que el cliente puede editar, no se imponen límites de tamaño. Esto permite que un actor malintencionado haga que una instancia de Discourse utilice espacio en disco excesivo y, a menudo, también ancho de banda excesivo. El problema está parcheado en 3.1.4 y 3.2.0.beta4.
