CVE-2025-61598

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Discourse is an open source discussion platform. Version before 3.6.2 and 3.6.0.beta2, default Cache-Control response header with value no-store, no-cache was missing from error responses. This may caused unintended caching of those responses by proxies potentially leading to cache poisoning attacks. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.6.2 and 3.6.0.beta2.

La versión anterior a 3.6.2 y 3.6.0.beta2, el encabezado de respuesta Cache-Control predeterminado con el valor no-store, no-cache faltaba en las respuestas de error. Esto pudo haber causado el almacenamiento en caché no intencionado de esas respuestas por parte de proxies, lo que podría llevar a ataques de envenenamiento de caché. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en 3.6.2 y 3.6.0.beta2."
