Drupal core - Moderately critical - Access bypass - SA-CORE-2025-002
Project: Drupal core Date: 2025-February-19 Security risk: Moderately critical 13 ∕ 25 AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default Vulnerability: Access bypass Affected versions: >= 8.0.0 < 10.3.13 || >= 10.4.0 < 10.4.3 || >= 11.0.0 < 11.0.12 || >= 11.1.0 < 11.1.3 CVE IDs: CVE-2025-31673 Description: Bulk operations allow authorized users to modify several nodes at once from the Content page ( /admin/content ). A site builder can also add bulk operations to other pages using Views. A bug in the core Actions system allows some users to modify some fields using bulk actions that they do not have permission to modify on individual nodes. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have permission to access /admin/content or other, custom views and to edit nodes. In particular, the bulk operations Make content sticky Make content unsticky Promote content to front page Publish content Remove content from front page Unpublish content now require the "Administer content" permission. Solution: Install the latest version: If you are using Drupal 10.3, update to Drupal 10.3.13 . If you are using Drupal 10.4, update to Drupal 10.4.3 . If you are using Drupal 11.0, update to Drupal 11.0.12 . If you are using Drupal 11.1, update to Drupal 11.1.3 . All versions of Drupal 10 prior to 10.3 are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage. ( Drupal 8 and Drupal 9 have both reached end-of-life.)
