From 2026.1.0-latest until 2026.1.7, 2026.6.2, 2026.7.1, and 2026.8.0-latest.1, anyone able to run a parameterized Data Explorer query, including non-staff members of a group a query is shared with, could craft parameter values that escaped the intended query and executed arbitrary SQL through plugins/discourse-data-explorer/lib/discourse_data_explorer/data_explorer.rb and plugins/discourse-data-explorer/lib/discourse_data_explorer/workflows/sql_action/v1.rb. Recursive parameter interpolation allowed one parameter value to introduce another parameter, and parameter declarations in SQL comments could be used to inject a statement. Queries run in a read-only transaction, so data could not be modified, but any table could be read. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.1.7, 2026.6.2, 2026.7.1, and 2026.8.0-latest.1.","published":"2026-08-10T17:17:37.663","modified":"2026-08-10T17:17:37.663","cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/2bdab888cef561348470dee204a4879d83fbb5c3","label":"discourse/discourse@2bdab88"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/2bdab888cef561348470dee204a4879d83fbb5c3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/3dc7f0da7aa18548281152e285244efb1cc8ad0d"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/674ba6fc64184fd7d8e21183c5d8cb22367faa6e"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/ce9ccf24ec3538172dc8f8199728e08f63e57693"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-wm63-83xp-59r5"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","NVD","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-10T17:17:37.663"}}
