CVSS 3.1
4.9 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2023-30606
Medium (4.9) in discourse discourse. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Discourse is an open source platform for community discussion. In affected versions a user logged as an administrator can call arbitrary methods on the `SiteSetting` class, notably `#clear_cache!` and `#notify_changed!`, which when done on a multisite instance, can affect the entire cluster resulting in a denial of service. Users not running in multisite environments are not affected. This issue is patched in the latest stable, beta and tests-passed versions of Discourse. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
