CVE-2024-21655: Insufficient control of custom field value sizes
First published: Fri Jan 12 2024(Updated: )
Discourse is a platform for community discussion. For fields that are client editable, limits on sizes are not imposed. This allows a malicious actor to cause a Discourse instance to use excessive disk space and also often excessive bandwidth. The issue is patched 3.1.4 and 3.2.0.beta4.
