- Summary
- Discourse: HTML injection in PrettyText.format_for_email from cooked-attribute reparsing
- Details
-
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to 2026.1.7, 2026.6.2, 2026.7.1, and 2026.8.0-latest.1, Discourse has HTML injection in PrettyText.format_for_email because cooked attribute values are reparsed as markup. Crafted Vimeo iframe sources, secure-upload URLs or dimensions, and hashtag data-slug values can cause decoded attribute text to be reinterpreted as HTML. The vulnerable conversion also fails to strictly validate the Vimeo iframe host and path, allowing non-Vimeo allowlisted iframes to be converted. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.1.7, 2026.6.2, 2026.7.1, and 2026.8.0-latest.1.
