Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to 2026.1.6, 2026.5.2, 2026.6.1, and 2026.7.0, SiteSerializer.anonymous_default_navigation_menu_tags serializes tags from SiteSetting.default_navigation_menu_tags without applying DiscourseTagging.filter_visible for the anonymous viewer. An unauthenticated user can retrieve restricted tag names and descriptions through /site.json when those tags are limited by inaccessible categories, category tag groups, or tag-group permissions. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.1.6, 2026.5.2, 2026.6.1, and 2026.7.0.
