Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Discourse versions prior to 3.0.4 of the stable branch Discourse versions prior to 3.1.0.beta5 of the beta and tests-passed branches

Description Discourse is an open source discussion platform. If a site has modified their general category permissions, they could be set back to the default. This issue is patched in version 3.0.4 of the stable branch and version 3.1.0.beta5 of the beta and tests-passed branches.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.0.4 of the stable branch, update to version 3.0.4 or later. For versions prior to 3.1.0.beta5 of the beta and tests-passed branches, update to version 3.1.0.beta5 or later. As a temporary workaround, if you are modifying the general category permissions, consider using a new category for the same purpose.
