Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The target must have the Drupal Internationalization Single Sign-On contrib module installed and enabled at a vulnerable version (0.0.0 through 1.8.0); the flaw lies in an alternate authentication path/channel exposed by this module, so a deployment not running it is unaffected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated bypass with high impact on all three security properties, which is the classic 9.8 'critical' profile and warrants prompt patching wherever the module is installed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade the Internationalization Single Sign-On module to the fixed release referenced in Drupal advisory SA-CONTRIB-2026-081 (https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-081); the input confirms a vendor patch is available but does not state an exact fixed version number, so obtain the specific patched release directly from that advisory (the fix supersedes the vulnerable 0.0.0-1.8.0 range). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Drupal installations using the Internationalization Single Sign-On module and confirm which versions (0.0.0 through 1.8.0) are deployed; review vendor advisory SA-CONTRIB-2026-081 for patch availability and prerequisites. …
