Description
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2, the `/private-posts` endpoint did not apply post-type visibility filtering, allowing regular PM participants to see whisper posts in PM topics they had access to. Versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch. No known workarounds are available.
