AI Analysis

Impact

Drupal Webform implements a template engine that improperly neutralizes special elements in user input. This flaw permits an attacker to inject code that is executed on the server. The consequence is the ability to run arbitrary commands, gain full control of the web server, and compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Drupal Webform module. Versions 0.0.0 through 6.2.12 and 6.3.0 through 6.3.1 are susceptible. Users running any of these releases should verify whether their instance uses the vulnerable module version.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.1 indicates a high severity. The EPSS score is <1%, indicating low exploitation probability. The attacker would need to submit crafted data through a Webform interface, a common entry point already exposed a public URL. Given the high impact of code injection and the absence of known mitigations in the affected releases, the risk remains significant until a patched or newer version is deployed.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Drupal Webform to a version that is not affected by this vulnerability, such as 6.3.2 or later, or apply an officially released patch if available.
  • Disable or restrict the template engine for any data supplied by users, ensuring that template processing is never performed on untrusted input.
  • Sanitize or escape all special characters in user-provided form data before rendering to prevent inadvertent interpretation by the template engine.
