Discourse vulnerable to auto-executing of third-party code in embedded CodePen iframe
CVE-2025-48877
Description
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to version 3.4.4 of the stable branch, version 3.5.0.beta5 of the beta branch, and version 3.5.0.beta6-dev of the tests-passed branch, Codepen is present in the default allowed_iframes site setting, and it can potentially auto-run arbitrary JS in the iframe scope, which is unintended. This issue is patched in version 3.4.4 of the stable branch, version 3.5.0.beta5 of the beta branch, and version 3.5.0.beta6-dev of the tests-passed branch. As a workaround, the Codepen prefix can be removed from a site's allowed_iframes.
