CRITICAL9.8EPSS 3.7%RCE via malicious SNS subscription payload
Published: 3/6/2024Modified: 3/13/2026
Also known as:BIT-discourse-2021-41163
Description
Discourse is an open source platform for community discussion. In affected versions maliciously crafted requests could lead to remote code execution. This resulted from a lack of validation in subscribe_url values. This issue is patched in the latest stable, beta and tests-passed versions of Discourse. To workaround the issue without updating, requests with a path starting /webhooks/aws path could be blocked at an upstream proxy.
