## What is CVE-2026-47263?

CVE-2026-47263 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Discourse Discourse, published on 12 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. From versions 2026.1.0-latest to before 2026.1.4, 2026.3.0-latest to before 2026.3.1, and 2026.4.0-latest to before 2026.4.1, the MessageBus.publish call for /web_hook_events/<id> in Jobs::RedeliverWebHookEvents did not pass group_ids, leaving the channel readable by any authenticated user (or anonymous user on instances where login_required is disabled). Webhook IDs are sequential integers and trivially enumerable. This issue has been patched in versions 2026.1.4, 2026.3.1, 2026.4.1, and 2026.5.0-latest.1.

What it is: CVE-2026-47263 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Discourse Discourse, published on 12 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-47263 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- discourse (Bitnami): affected from 2026.1.0; fixed in 2026.1.4, 2026.3.1, 2026.4.1

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
