**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Discourse versions prior to 3.3.2
Discourse versions tests-passed prior to 3.4.0.beta2
**Description**
The issue affects Discourse, an open source platform for community discussion, and allows an attacker to poison the cache with repeated XHR requests, affecting anonymous visitors of the site.
**Recommendations**
For Discourse versions prior to 3.3.2, upgrade to the latest version to resolve the issue.
For Discourse versions tests-passed prior to 3.4.0.beta2, upgrade to a version at or after 3.4.0.beta2 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround for users unable to upgrade, consider disabling anonymous cache by setting the `DISCOURSE DISABLE ANON CACHE` environment variable to a non-empty value.
