Official description

Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. From versions 2026.1.0-latest to before 2026.1.3, 2026.2.0-latest to before 2026.2.2, and 2026.3.0-latest to before 2026.3.0, the enter action in StaticController reads the sso_destination_url cookie and redirects to it with allow_other_host: true without validating the destination URL. While this cookie is normally set during legitimate DiscourseConnect Provider flows with cryptographically validated SSO payloads, cookies are client-controlled and can be set by attackers. This issue has been patched in versions 2026.1.3, 2026.2.2, and 2026.3.0.
