{"id":"BIT-discourse-2025-49845","summary":"Discourse users are able to see their own whispers even after being removed from a group that has been configured to see whispers","details":"Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. The visibility of posts typed `whisper` is controlled via the `whispers_allowed_groups` site setting. Only users that belong to groups specified in the site setting are allowed to view posts typed `whisper`. However, it has been discovered that users of versions prior to 3.4.6 on the `stable` branch and prior to 3.5.0.beta8-dev on the `tests-passed` branch can continue to see their own whispers even after losing visibility of posts typed `whisper`. This issue is patched in versions 3.4.6 and 3.5.0.beta8-dev. No known workarounds are available.","aliases":["CVE-2025-49845","GHSA-79qw-r73r-69gf"],"modified":"2026-09-10T16:00:32.892616829Z","published":"2025-07-01T08:03:12.143Z","database_specific":{"severity":"High","cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:discourse:discourse:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-79qw-r73r-69gf"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-49845"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"discourse","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/discourse"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.6"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/discourse/BIT-discourse-2025-49845.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
