CVE-2022-39232: Discourse vulnerable to incomplete quote causing a topic to crash in the browser

First published: Thu Sep 29 2022(Updated: )

Discourse is an open source discussion platform. Starting with version 2.9.0.beta5 and prior to version 2.9.0.beta10, an incomplete quote can generate a JavaScript error which will crash the current page in the browser in some cases. Version 2.9.0.beta10 added a fix and tests to ensure incomplete quotes won't break the app. As a workaround, the quote can be fixed via the rails console.
