Discourse · Discourse · CVE-2025-22601
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Discourse versions prior to the latest version
**Description**
Discourse is an open source platform for community discussion. In affected versions, an attacker can trick a target user to make changes to their own username via a carefully crafted link using the `activate-account` route.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to the latest version, update to the latest version of Discourse to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `activate-account` route until the update is applied.
