Without a rate limit on the POST /uploads endpoint, it makes it easier for an attacker to carry out a DoS attack on the server since creating an upload can be a resource intensive process. Do note that the impact varies from site to site as various site settings like `max_image_size_kb`, `max_attachment_size_kb` and `max_image_megapixels` will determine the amount of resources used when creating an upload. The issue is patched in the latest stable, beta and tests-passed version of Discourse. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should reduce `max_image_size_kb`, `max_attachment_size_kb` and `max_image_megapixels` as smaller uploads require less resources to process. Alternatively, `client_max_body_size` can be reduced in Nginx to prevent large uploads from reaching the server."}],"source":{"advisory":"GHSA-58vw-246g-fjj4","discovery":"UNKNOWN"}},"adp":[{"affected":[{"vendor":"discourse","product":"discourse","cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:discourse:discourse:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"defaultStatus":"unknown","versions":[{"version":"stable","status":"affected","lessThan":"3.2.0","versionType":"custom"},{"version":"beta","status":"affected","lessThan":"3.3.0beta1","versionType":"custom"},{"version":"tests_passed","status":"affected","lessThan":"3.3.0beta1","versionType":"custom"}]}],"metrics":[{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"timestamp":"2024-03-18T14:12:35.581631Z","id":"CVE-2024-24827","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"yes"},{"Technical Impact":"partial"}],"role":"CISA Coordinator","version":"2.0.3"}}}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2025-04-10T20:27:16.048Z"}},{"providerMetadata":{"orgId":"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108","shortName":"CVE","dateUpdated":"2024-08-01T23:28:12.832Z"},"title":"CVE Program Container","references":[{"name":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-58vw-246g-fjj4","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM","x_transferred"],"url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-58vw-246g-fjj4"},{"name":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/003b80e62f97cd8c0114d6b9d3f93c10443e6fae","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","x_transferred"],"url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/003b80e62f97cd8c0114d6b9d3f93c10443e6fae"}]}]}}
