Prior to versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2, the Post Edits admin report (/admin/reports/post_edits) leaked the first 40 characters of raw post content from private messages and secure categories to moderators who shouldn't have access. Versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch. No known workarounds are available.

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: Added CPE configurations because not yet analyzed by NVD.
