Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Discourse versions 2.8.13 and prior Discourse versions 2.9.0.beta14 and prior

Description Discourse is an open-source discussion platform where any authenticated user can create an unlisted topic, potentially taking up unnecessary site resources.

Recommendations For versions 2.8.13 and prior, update to a version after 2.8.13. For versions 2.9.0.beta14 and prior, update to a version after 2.9.0.beta14. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the ability to create unlisted topics for authenticated users until a patch is available.
