What is CVE-2026-91134?

The Discourse discussion platform had a vulnerability that allowed an attacker to exploit the post sanitizer mechanism. Prior to specific patched versions, this flaw permitted the injection of a stored cross-origin iframe, leading to unauthorized content rendering by bypassing the allowed_iframes prefix policy. The issue arose when the sanitizer validated a decoded form of the URL differently from the stored iframe source, allowing an attacker to persist an iframe within a user post, which could then render content from an attacker-controlled host. This vulnerability has been addressed in the updated versions of the Discourse platform.
