What is CVE-2025-22602?

Discourse is a widely used open source platform designed for community discussions. In certain versions, a vulnerability exists that allows attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into users' browsers through a specially crafted video placeholder HTML element. This security issue arises specifically on sites that have Content Security Policy (CSP) disabled, exposing users to potential malicious scripts. To mitigate this risk, users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest version of Discourse, where this vulnerability has been patched. For those unable to perform an upgrade, enabling CSP may provide an additional layer of protection against this type of attack.
