Headline
GHSA-jm79-9pm4-vrw9: Decidim vulnerable to sensitive data disclosure
Note: added the actual report as a comment.
Summary
Decidim, a platform for digital citizen participation, uses a third-party library named Ransack for filtering certain database collections (e.g., public meetings). By default, this library allows filtering on all data attributes and associations. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to exfiltrate non-public data from the underlying database of a Decidim instance (e.g., exfiltrating data from the user table).
Impact
This issue may lead to Sensitive Data Disclosure.
Patches
The problem was patched in v0.27.3.
Workarounds
Disable or unpublish all meetings components from your application.

Decidim is a participatory democracy framework, written in Ruby on Rails, originally developed for the Barcelona City government online and offline participation website. The processes filter feature is susceptible to Cross-site scripting. This allows a remote attacker to execute JavaScript code in the context of a currently logged-in user. An attacker could use this vulnerability to make other users endorse or support proposals they have no intention of supporting or endorsing. The problem was patched in version 0.27.3 and 0.26.6.
