CVE-2026-15917
Project: Drupal core Date: 2026-July-15 Security risk: Moderately critical 14 ∕ 25 AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All Vulnerability: Cross-site scripting Affected versions: >=11.3.0 <11.3.14 || >=11.4.0 <11.4.4 || 11.2.* CVE IDs: CVE-2026-15917 Description: Drupal core 11.2 and above integrate the HTMX JavaScript library. Drupal core's XSS filter does not sufficiently sanitize certain HTMX attributes, which can lead to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact an attacker must be able to insert HTML with specific attributes. Solution: Install the latest version: Drupal 11 If you use Drupal 11.4.x, update to Drupal 11.4.4 . If you use Drupal 11.3.x, update to Drupal 11.3.14 . Drupal 11.2.x and below are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage. Drupal 10 Drupal 10 core is not affected. However, certain contributed modules may be affected, so a Drupal 10.6 fix is included as hardening. Drupal 8 and Drupal 9 have both reached end-of-life.
