Drupal core - Moderately critical - Cross Site Scripting - SA-CORE-2025-004

criticalCVE-2025-31675
Project: Drupal core Date: 2025-March-19 Security risk: Moderately critical 13 ∕ 25 AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting Affected versions: >= 8.0.0 < 10.3.14 || >= 10.4.0 < 10.4.5 || >= 11.0.0 < 11.0.13 || >= 11.1.0 < 11.1.5 CVE IDs: CVE-2025-31675 Description: Drupal core Link field attributes are not sufficiently sanitized, which can lead to a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability (XSS). This vulnerability is mitigated by that fact that an attacker would need to have the ability to add specific attributes to a Link field, which typically requires edit access via core web services, or a contrib or custom module. Sites with the Link module disabled or that do not use any link fields are not affected. Solution: Install the latest version: If you use Drupal 10.3.x, update to Drupal 10.3.14 If you use Drupal 10.4.x, update to Drupal 10.4.5 If you use Drupal 11.0.x, update to Drupal 11.0.13 If you use Drupal 11.1.x, update to Drupal 11.1.5 All versions of Drupal prior to 10.3 are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage from the Drupal Security Team.
