Hi All,

We have published a [new security advisory](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-vm3x-w6jm-j9vv) regarding a bad commit that was made on the `tests-passed` branch which resulted in group private messages having their title and participants leaked to all users.

The bad commit was present on the `tests-passed` branch from 2021-09-15T02:44:00Z → 2021-09-15T05:16:00Z. If your site is running against the `tests-passed` branch and an upgrade was done between the affected window, you’re advised to upgrade your site immediately to resolve the security problem.
