MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation is limited by three stacked prerequisites reflected in the CVSS vector: the attacker must hold high privileges on the target Drupal site (PR:H), a victim must be induced to interact with the malicious content (UI:R), and attack complexity is high (AC:H), meaning conditions outside the attacker's control must be met. The affected component is the Drupal 'Country' contrib module at versions 0.0.0-2.1.2 and 2.2.0, so the site must have this specific module installed and enabled at a vulnerable version. The exact feature or field that fails to neutralize input is not described in the available sources. These factors together make opportunistic or mass exploitation unlikely. |
| Impact | This is a low-severity issue (CVSS 3.1 base score 3.1) that does not represent an urgent priority. Multiple independent signals agree: EPSS is 0.16% (5th percentile), the CISA SSVC framework records Exploitation=none, Automatable=no, and only partial Technical Impact, and vuln.today assigns a 'monitor' decision label - the lowest urgency tier. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) reinforces this: although the attack vector is network-based, exploitation requires high privileges (PR:H), user interaction (UI:R), and high attack complexity (AC:H), with only limited confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. There is no KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis - only a vendor advisory reference. The signals are therefore consistent rather than conflicting: a genuinely low real-world risk, not a high-CVSS-but-overstated issue. One caveat: the AC:H and PR:H values in the supplied vector are unusually high for a web XSS flaw, and the description does not explain the trigger, so the exact preconditions should be confirmed against the Drupal advisory (SA-CONTRIB-2026-211). |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated attacker who already holds a high-privilege role on a Drupal site running a vulnerable Country module version injects a crafted payload that is later rendered unsanitized in a web page; when another user views that page, attacker-controlled script executes in their browser session. No public exploit code has been identified, and the specific injection point is not described in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
Cross-site scripting in the Drupal Country contributed module lets an attacker with high privileges on a Drupal site place script into pages that a victim then views after being induced to interact with the crafted content. The CVE description covers Country 0.0.0 through 2.1.3 and 2.2.0 through 2.2.1; the independent assessment rates the issue low severity (CVSS 3.1) and not an urgent priority because exploitation requires high privileges, user interaction and high attack complexity. No public exploit or active exploitation is identified in the supplied data (SSVC exploitation: none; EPSS 0.16%), and a vendor patch is available.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: update the Drupal Country module to the fixed release identified at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-211 and follow the advisory's update guidance; the supplied data does not state the exact fixed version, so confirm the target release on the advisory. If the module is not required, disabling or uninstalling it removes the exposure at the cost of losing Country functionality. Until the update is applied, limit roles that can create or edit content processed by the module to trusted users and review stored content for injected script, recognizing that these measures reduce but do not eliminate risk; no other specific compensating controls are supplied.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the Drupal Country contributed module (CPE cpe:2.3:a:drupal:country), not Drupal core. CWE-79 describes improper neutralization of input during web page generation, which in this case manifests as cross-site scripting; the exact field, render path or input source that fails to escape output is not described in the available sources. The assessment's prerequisites are an attacker holding high privileges on the target site, a victim who interacts with malicious content, and high attack complexity, with low confidentiality and integrity impact in the assessed scope; SSVC records exploitation as none, automatable as no, and technical impact as partial. Because Country is a contributed module, a site is exposed only if that module is installed and enabled at an affected version.

Severity by source
AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
XSS typically needs only authenticated content-injection access (PR:L) and victim interaction (UI:R), and script execution in the victim's browser crosses a trust boundary (S:C); the trigger is not described, so PR is assessed conservatively.
