{"id":"CVE-2023-45806","summary":"Discourse vulnerable to DoS via Regexp Injection in Full Name","details":"Discourse is an open source platform for community discussion. Prior to version 3.1.3 of the `stable` branch and version 3.2.0.beta3 of the `beta` and `tests-passed` branches, if a user has been quoted and uses a `|` in their full name, they might be able to trigger a bug that generates a lot of duplicate content in all the posts they've been quoted by updating their full name again. Version 3.1.3 of the `stable` branch and version 3.2.0.beta3 of the `beta` and `tests-passed` branches contain a patch for this issue. No known workaround exists, although one can stop the \"bleeding\" by ensuring users only use alphanumeric characters in their full name field.","aliases":["BIT-discourse-2023-45806","GHSA-hcgf-hg2g-mw78"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:24.050046143Z","published":"2023-11-10T14:43:37.657Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/45xxx/CVE-2023-45806.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-1333"]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/45xxx/CVE-2023-45806.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-hcgf-hg2g-mw78"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-45806"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/2ec25105179199cf80912bf011c18b8b870e1863"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/7d484864fe91ff79c478f57e7ddb1235d701921e"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4f64a829e552993a9e6fcc7f77b826f56683551d"},{"fixed":"f9502188a646cdb286ae6572ad6198c711ecdea8"},{"introduced":"a9cc379121e30f86128677c71dbb42c30100598a"},{"fixed":"2ec25105179199cf80912bf011c18b8b870e1863"},{"fixed":"7d484864fe91ff79c478f57e7ddb1235d701921e"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":["cpe:2.3:a:discourse:discourse:*:*:*:*:stable:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:discourse:discourse:*:*:*:*:beta:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:discourse:discourse:3.2.0:beta1:*:*:beta:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:discourse:discourse:3.2.0:beta2:*:*:beta:*:*:*"],"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.1.3"},{"fixed":"3.2.0"},{"introduced":"3.2.0-beta1"},{"last_affected":"3.2.0-beta1"},{"introduced":"3.2.0-beta2"},{"last_affected":"3.2.0-beta2"}],"source":["CPE_RANGE","CPE_STRING","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["3.2.0-beta1","3.2.0-beta2","v3.1.5","v3.1.4","v3.1.3","v3.1.2","v3.2.0.beta2","v3.1.1","v3.2.0.beta1","v3.1.0","v3.0.6","v3.0.5","v3.0.4","v3.0.3","v3.0.2","v3.0.1","v3.0.0","v2.8.14","v2.8.13","v2.8.12","v2.8.11","v2.8.10","v2.8.9","v2.8.8","v2.8.7","v2.8.6","v2.8.5","v2.8.4","v2.8.3","v2.8.2","v2.8.1","v2.8.0","v2.7.13","v2.7.12","v2.7.11","v2.7.10","v2.7.9","v2.7.8","v2.7.7","v2.7.6","v2.7.5","v2.7.4","v2.7.3","v2.7.2","v2.7.1","v2.7.0","v2.6.7","v2.6.6","v2.6.5","v2.6.4","v2.6.3","v2.6.2","v2.6.1","v2.6.0","v2.5.5","v2.5.4","v2.5.3","v2.5.2","v2.5.1","v2.5.0","v2.4.5","v2.4.4","v2.4.3","v2.4.2","v2.4.1","v2.4.0","v2.3.10","v2.3.9","v2.3.8","v2.3.7","v2.3.6","v2.3.5","v2.3.4","v2.3.3","v2.3.2","v2.3.1","v2.3.0","v2.2.6","v2.2.5","v2.2.4","v2.2.3","v2.2.2","v2.2.1","v2.2.0","v2.1.8","v2.1.7","v2.1.6","v2.1.5","v2.1.4","v2.1.3","v2.1.2","v2.1.1","v2.1.0","v2.0.5","v2.0.4","v2.0.3","v2.0.2","v2.0.1","v2.0.0","v1.9.7","v1.9.6","v1.9.5","v1.9.4","v1.9.3","v1.9.2","v1.9.1","v1.9.0","v1.8.11","v1.8.10","v1.8.9","v1.8.8","v1.8.7","v1.8.6","v1.8.5","v1.8.4","v1.8.3","v1.8.2","v1.8.1","v1.8.0","v1.7.10","v1.7.9","v1.7.8","v1.7.7","v1.7.6","v1.7.5","v1.7.4","v1.7.3","v1.7.2","v1.7.1","v1.7.0","v1.6.10","v1.6.9","v1.6.8","v1.6.7","v1.6.6","v1.6.5","v1.6.4","v1.6.3","v1.6.2","v1.6.1","v1.6.0","v1.5.4","v1.5.3","v1.5.2","v1.5.1","v1.5.0","v1.4.7","v1.4.6","v1.4.5","v1.4.4","v1.4.3","v1.4.2","v1.4.1","v1.4.0","v1.3.5","v1.3.4","v1.3.3","v1.3.2","v1.3.1","v1.3.0","v1.2.4","v1.2.3","v1.2.2","v1.2.1","v1.2.0","v1.1.3","v1.1.2","v1.1.1","v1.1.0","v1.0.4","v1.0.3","v1.0.2","v1.0.1","v1.0.0","v0.9.9.18","v0.9.9.17","v0.9.9.16","v0.9.9.15","v0.9.9.14","v0.9.9.13","v0.9.9.12","v0.9.9.11","v0.9.9.10","v0.9.9.9","v0.9.9.8","v0.9.9.7","v0.9.9.6","v0.9.9.5","v0.9.9.4","v0.9.9.3","v0.9.9.2","v0.9.9.1","v0.9.8.11","v0.9.8.10","v0.9.8.9","v0.9.8.8","v0.9.8.7","v0.9.8.6","v0.9.8.5","v0.9.8.4","v0.9.8.3","v0.9.8.2","v0.9.8.1","v0.9.8","v0.9.7.9","v0.9.7.8","v0.9.7.7","v0.9.7.6","v0.9.7.5","v0.9.7.4","v0.9.7.3","v0.9.7.2","v0.9.7.1","v0.9.7","v0.9.6.4","v0.9.6.3","v0.9.6.1","v0.9.6","v0.9.5.2","v0.9.5.1","v0.9.5","v0.9.4","v0.9.3","v0.9.2.6","v0.9.2.5","v0.9.2","v0.9.1","v0.9.0","v0.8.9","v0.8.8","v0.8.7","v0.8.6","v0.8.5","v0.8.4","v0.8.3","v0.8.2","v0.8.1","v0.8.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2023-45806.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"}]}
