Original NVD Description

Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2, a type coercion issue in a post actions API endpoint allowed non-staff users to issue warnings to other users. Warnings are a staff-only moderation feature. The vulnerability required the attacker to be a logged-in user and to send a specifically crafted request. No data exposure or privilege escalation beyond the ability to create unauthorized user warnings was possible. Versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch. No known workarounds are available.
