The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated account with sufficient privilege to supply or configure content rendered by the Feed Block module (PR:L) on Drupal sites running Feed Block versions below 2.0.2 (3.x branch below 3.0.2). The stored payload executes when another user renders the affected block, so delivery to a victim depends on that victim viewing a page containing the compromised block. Limiting factors: it is not remotely exploitable by fully unauthenticated attackers (PR:L), the reporter assigns high attack complexity (AC:H) though the specific precondition is not described in the available sources, and sites not using the Feed Block contrib module are unaffected. Impact is bounded to Low confidentiality and Low integrity in the victim's browser context with no availability impact.

Impact

This is a low-to-moderate priority issue, not an emergency. The signals are internally consistent and point to limited real-world risk: CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.2 (Medium) with AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N, meaning network-reachable but low privileges required (PR:L - an authenticated user), only Low confidentiality and integrity impact, and no availability impact. EPSS reinforces this with a 0.16% exploitation probability (5th percentile), among the lowest tiers. The vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no confirmed active exploitation. No exploit code or PoC reference is present in the input - the only references are the Drupal security advisory (SA-contrib-2026-137) and the NVD detail page, so this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month,' consistent with a Medium-severity, patch-available, low-EPSS stored XSS rather than an act-now situation. One caveat: this is a contrib (community) Drupal module, so the practical blast radius depends entirely on how many sites install Feed Block and grant the relevant content-authoring role. The CVSS AC:H (high attack complexity) is asserted by the reporter but the input does not describe WHY the attack is complex; treat the mechanism as unstated.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker holding a low-privileged authenticated account with rights to configure or supply content to a Feed Block (for example a content editor or feed source) injects a malicious script payload that is stored and later rendered unsanitized to other users. When a victim - potentially an administrator - views a page containing the block, the script executes in their browser session. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis; the attack requires authenticated access (PR:L) and the reporter rates attack complexity as high (AC:H), though the trigger is not described in the available sources.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 22, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in the Drupal Feed Block contrib module (versions before 2.0.2 on the 2.x line and before 3.0.2 on the 3.x line) allows an authenticated user who can supply or configure content rendered by the block to persist a script payload that executes in another user's browser when the affected block is rendered on a page. Impact is bounded to low confidentiality and low integrity in the victim's browser context, with no availability impact, and only sites running the Feed Block module are affected - sites without it are not exposed. Vendor patches are available (2.0.2 and 3.0.2), EPSS is very low at 0.16% (5th percentile), and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; this is a low-to-moderate priority, scheduled-patching item rather than an emergency.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patches are available: update Feed Block to 2.0.2 on the 2.x line or 3.0.2 on the 3.x line (or a later release on the corresponding branch) following the Drupal Security Advisory at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-137, which is the authoritative source for this issue. Because exploitation requires an account able to supply or configure content rendered by the block (PR:L), reducing the number of users holding permissions to configure or populate Feed Block content limits the exposure window until the update is applied, and sites that do not use the module simply need to keep it uninstalled. No specific workaround is documented in the available sources, so patching to 2.0.2 or 3.0.2 should be treated as the complete fix; with EPSS at 0.16% and no public exploit identified, this fits a scheduled (this month) maintenance window rather than an emergency change.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-79, improper neutralization of input during web page generation: user-controllable data handled by the Feed Block contrib module is rendered into generated HTML without adequate encoding or sanitization, so markup and script content survive into the page delivered to other users. Drupal render caching and block configuration make this a persistent (stored) issue rather than a reflected one - the payload is saved in site data and re-served to every visitor of the page containing the block. The affected component is the contributed module identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:drupal:feed_block:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, distinct from Drupal core. The reporter's vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) requires a low-privileged authenticated account (PR:L) and assigns high attack complexity (AC:H); our independent assessment scores the same privileges and impact but rates attack complexity as low (AC:L), and the specific precondition behind the reporter's AC:H rating is not described in the available sources - the precise trigger is not described in the available sources. The scope is unchanged and both confidentiality and integrity impacts are Low, with no availability impact.
