Official description
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2, when a user has `hide_profile` enabled, their bio, location, and website were still exposed through the user onebox preview. An authenticated user could request a onebox for a hidden user's profile URL and receive their hidden profile fields (bio, location, website) in the response. Versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch. No known workarounds are available.
