CWE ID 400

Summary

CVE-2024-24827 is a vulnerability affecting Discourse, an open-source community discussion platform. This issue stems from the lack of a rate limit on the POST /uploads endpoint, making it simpler for attackers to launch a Denial of Service (DoS) attack against the server. The impact of this vulnerability can vary, depending on the specific site settings, such as `max_image_size_kb`, `max_attachment_size_kb`, and `max_image_megapixels`. The vulnerability is resolved in the latest stable, beta, and tests-passed versions of Discourse. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade. For those unable to upgrade, reducing the aforementioned settings or limiting `client_max_body_size` in Nginx can provide additional protection against large uploads.
