CVE-2026-91133Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Restricted upload metadata disclosure via wildcard resolution

Published Sep 24, 2026 · Updated Sep 24, 2026

Improper authorization in Discourse allows remote authenticated users to read restricted upload metadata via crafted upload identifiers. Upload metadata, URL-lookup, and cooked-video-placeholder paths treat unescaped percent and underscore characters as SQL LIKE wildcards, so a lookup can select an unrelated upload instead of a literal identifier. Any authenticated account can reach the affected resolution paths and disclose original filenames and secure-upload paths, but cannot modify upload records through this flaw.
