vulnerability in Drupal Mother May I allows . This issue affects Mother May I versions: *.*.
AnalysisAI
Stored/reflected cross-site scripting (CWE-79) affects the Drupal contributed module 'Mother May I' across all released versions (*.*), letting attackers inject script that executes in the browser context of other Drupal users. Because the module is a Drupal add-on rather than core, exposure is limited to sites that have installed it, and no public exploit has been identified. EPSS is low (0.15%, 5th percentile) and the flaw is not on the CISA KEV list, indicating no known active exploitation despite the vendor-assigned 9.8 rating.
Technical ContextAI
Mother May I is a contributed access-control/permissions helper module for the Drupal CMS (PHP), identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:drupal:mother_may_i. The weakness is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), meaning user-supplied input is rendered into HTML output without adequate sanitization or output encoding, allowing arbitrary HTML/JavaScript to run in a victim's session. In Drupal, such flaws typically arise when module code emits values via unsafe render paths instead of Drupal's built-in Twig auto-escaping or sanitization APIs (Html::escape, Xss::filter, #plain_text). The Drupal Security Team advisory SA-CONTRIB-2026-045 is the authoritative source for this contrib module.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory - consult the Drupal Security Team advisory at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-045 for the fixed release and upgrade to the patched version of the Mother May I module (an exact fixed version number is not present in the provided data, so confirm it directly from the advisory before deploying). If a patched release is not yet installable or the module is no longer maintained, the safest compensating control is to uninstall/disable the Mother May I module, since it is an optional contrib add-on (trade-off: loss of whatever permission-gating functionality it provides). Where the module must stay enabled, restrict access to the pages/forms that render its input to trusted authenticated roles and place them behind authentication, and consider a WAF/CSP rule that constrains inline script execution to blunt XSS payloads (trade-off: CSP tuning may break legitimate inline scripts and does not fix the underlying flaw). Track vuldb.com/vuln/377663 and the EUVD record for a confirmed fixed version.
