Discourse is an open source platform for community discussion. Prior to version 3.1.3 of the stable branch and version 3.2.0.beta3 of the beta and tests-passed branches, some links can inject arbitrary HTML tags when rendered through our Onebox engine. The issue is patched in version 3.1.3 of the stable branch and version 3.2.0.beta3 of the beta and tests-passed branches. There are no known workarounds.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
