1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | The risk profile of this vulnerability is moderately high despite missing CVSS and EPSS scores. The authentication bypass nature (CWE-306) combined with the 'critical function' designation indicates the affected endpoints perform sensitive operations-likely dashboard data access or configuration changes. Attack vector is network-based and requires no special privileges (unauthenticated per the description), making exploitation trivially easy for any remote attacker with network access. However, without a published CVSS vector, attack complexity and scope cannot be independently verified. The absence of confirmed public exploit code or CISA KEV status suggests either limited real-world visibility or recent disclosure. For Drupal installations, the actual risk depends on dashboard sensitivity and whether the module controls administrative or data-sensitive operations. Organizations running AJAX Dashboard should prioritize patching, as authentication bypass vulnerabilities are often exploited opportunistically once disclosed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker discovers the AJAX Dashboard module is active on a Drupal site and directly crafts HTTP POST/GET requests to known AJAX endpoints (e.g., /dashboard/fetch-data or /dashboard/update-config). Without authentication enforcement, the module processes the requests and returns sensitive dashboard data or applies configuration changes. For example, an attacker could enumerate dashboard metrics, modify widget settings, or trigger administrative actions depending on what the dashboard controls. This requires no special tools beyond basic HTTP client capabilities (curl, browser developer tools, or a simple script). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 26, 2026
Drupal AJAX Dashboard versions before 3.1.0 fail to enforce authentication on critical AJAX endpoints, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass access controls and invoke privileged dashboard functions. The vulnerability affects all versions from 0.0.0 through 3.1.0 (exclusive) and is categorized as a Missing Authentication for Critical Function (CWE-306). No public exploit code or active exploitation via CISA KEV has been confirmed at time of analysis, but the authentication bypass nature of this defect presents significant risk to installations relying on dashboard security.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Drupal AJAX Dashboard to version 3.1.0 or later as indicated in the vendor security advisory at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-022. This patch release fixes the missing authentication control on critical AJAX endpoints. Until patching is completed, administrators should disable or restrict access to the AJAX Dashboard module via web server configuration (e.g., Apache/.htaccess or nginx location blocks) to limit exposure to sensitive endpoints. Additionally, implement network-level access controls to restrict dashboard access to trusted IP ranges and apply Drupal's standard permission model to further minimize risk. Monitor Drupal logs for suspicious AJAX requests to dashboards endpoints as a temporary detection measure.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The AJAX Dashboard module for Drupal (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:drupal:ajax_dashboard:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) implements AJAX-based endpoints for dashboard operations without properly validating user authentication state before processing requests. The root cause is classified as CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function), a class of vulnerability where security-critical operations are accessible without credential verification. AJAX endpoints typically handle asynchronous data retrieval and state modification; when these endpoints lack authentication checks, attackers can craft HTTP requests directly to invoke protected actions. The vulnerability stems from improper access control configuration in the module's routing or permission system, allowing the module to process requests from unauthenticated sessions.
