What is CVE-2026-33426?

Discourse, an open-source discussion platform, has identified a vulnerability that allows users with tag-editing permissions to modify and create synonyms for tags that are hidden in restricted tag groups.

Users should upgrade to the patched versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, or 2026.1.2 as no workarounds are available to mitigate this issue.
