CVE-2021-43792
Discourse is an open source discussion platform. In affected versions a vulnerability affects users of tag groups who use the "Tags are visible only to the following groups" feature. A tag group may only allow a certain group (e.g. staff) to view certain tags. Users who were tracking or watching the tags via /preferences/tags, then have their staff status revoked will still see notifications related to the tag, but will not see the tag on each topic. This issue has been patched in stable version 2.7.11. Users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible.

En las versiones afectadas, una vulnerabilidad afecta a usuarios de grupos de etiquetas que usan la funcionalidad \"Tags are visible only to the following groups\". Un grupo de etiquetas puede permitir a sólo un determinado grupo (por ejemplo, el personal) visualizar determinadas etiquetas. Los usuarios que seguían o visualizaban las etiquetas por medio de /preferences/tags, y luego les es revocada su condición de personal, seguirán viendo las notificaciones relacionadas con la etiqueta, pero no verán la etiqueta en cada tema. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión estable 2.7.11. Se recomienda a usuarios que se actualicen lo antes posible"
