{"id":"BIT-discourse-2022-39226","summary":"Discourse user profile location and website fields were not sufficiently length-limited","details":"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.","aliases":["CVE-2022-39226","GHSA-jw3q-xg5g-qjrw"],"modified":"2026-09-08T08:46:07.026822190Z","published":"2024-03-06T11:04:22.608Z","database_specific":{"severity":"Medium","cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:discourse:discourse:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/e69f7d2fd9c977dedbdb17f6813651e2a45bfb71"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/18302"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-jw3q-xg5g-qjrw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-39226"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"discourse","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/discourse"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.8.9"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/discourse/BIT-discourse-2022-39226.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"}]}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
