BIT-discourse-2026-31869 — Discourse: Composer mentions endpoint leaks hidden group membership through PM `allowed_names` check

2026-10-08T18:48:58.549622+00:00

Affected: Bitnami: discourse

Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to versions 2026.3.0, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2, the ComposerController#mentions endpoint reveals hidden group membership to any authenticated user who can message the group. By supplying allowed_names referencing a hidden-membership group and probing arbitrary usernames, an attacker can infer membership based on whether user_reasons returns "private" for a given user. This bypasses group member-visibility controls. Versions 2026.3.0, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch. To work around this issue, restrict the messageable policy of any hidden-membership group to staff or group members only, so untrusted users cannot reach the vulnerable code path.
