AI Analysis

Impact

The Drupal "Examples for Developers" module contains a flaw where internal functions allocate memory or processing resources without imposing any limits or throttling. An attacker who can invoke the affected code paths can cause the application to consume excessive memory or CPU time, leading to high resource consumption and eventual service interruption. This overflow of resources can degrade site performance or render the site unavailable to legitimate users. The weakness is a classic resource exhaustion problem, corresponding to CWE‑770. No data externally indicates that the flaw permits code execution or escalates privileges; its main effect is to degrade availability rather than compromise confidentiality or integrity.

Affected Systems

Drupal "Examples for Developers" module versions 0.0.0 through 4.0.7 are affected. These versions are used by Drupal sites that have installed the module; any sites running these versions should check the installed version number and confirm whether the problematic code is present.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is not provided and EPSS is not available, so precise quantitative metrics are missing. The module is a Drupal contrib component, so the most likely attack vector is via a web request that triggers the resource‐intensive functions. Because the flaw relies solely on allocating resources, existing exploitation requires the attacker to be able to generate a request that activates the vulnerable code; no public exploit code or reported operations are available. The absence of KEV listing suggests no known active exploitation. Nonetheless, since an attacker who can reach the code can exhaust server resources, the risk remains moderate and should not be ignored.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update "Examples for Developers" to version 4.0.8 or later, removing the vulnerable code entirely.
  • If a later version is unavailable, remove the module or disable any functions that trigger excessive resource allocation until a fix is released.
  • Configure server hardening settings such as php.ini's memory_limit, max_execution_time, and max_input_time to limit resource usage per request.
  • Monitor application logs, memory consumption, and CPU usage for sudden spikes that may indicate abuse or exploitation attempts.
