Impact

Drupal Media Folders contains an improper neutralization of user input during web page generation, leading to a stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability. The flaw allows an attacker to inject malicious HTML or JavaScript that is saved in the media folder and rendered to other users, potentially executing arbitrary client‑side code when viewers access that content.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the Drupal Media Folders module, versions from 0.0.0 up to and including 1.0.8. Any installation running one of these versions without a later update is susceptible to the vulnerability.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is < 1% (approximately 0.0015) and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no current widespread exploitation, but the risk remains high for sites where content editors can write or upload arbitrary media folder entries. Because the flaw is stored XSS, remote attackers need only convince a legitimate user or an editor to input malicious content, after which the stored code can run in the browsers of all visitors to that page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Drupal Media Folders to a version later than 1.0.8 which contains the input sanitization fix.
  • Implement strict output encoding for all dynamic HTML generated by the module, ensuring that any user‑provided content is escaped according to the platform’s recommended practices.
  • Limit the permissions of users who can add or edit media folders to those who absolutely need it, and enforce an application‑level Content Security Policy that blocks execution of inline scripts or remote code.
