Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Versions prior to 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 have a potential stored XSS in topic titles for the solved posts stream. Versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch.
As a workaround, ensure that the Content Security Policy is enabled, and has not been modified in a way which would make it more vulnerable to XSS attacks.
