Discourse: Private Chat Threat Message Disclosure via Chat Onebox Channel/Threat ID Mismatch

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 10.08.2026 Published: 10.08.2026 Updated: 11.08.2026

Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to 2026.1.6, 2026.5.2, 2026.6.1, and 2026.7.0, plugins/chat/lib/chat/onebox_handler.rb resolves Chat::Thread by route thread_id independently of the route channel_id before checking whether the user can preview the selected chat channel. An authenticated user can pair a public channel ID with a private thread ID in a /onebox.json request and obtain private thread message content. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.1.6, 2026.5.2, 2026.6.1, and 2026.7.0.
