|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation targets Drupal sites that have the contributed 'Stop administrator login' module installed and enabled at a version between 1.0 and 1.6. Per the CVSS vector (PR:H), the attacker must already possess high-privilege credentials/access, which is a significant limiting factor; no user interaction is required (UI:N). The flaw is an authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel (CWE-288), i.e. reaching the login flow through a route the module does not protect - the precise alternate channel is not described in the available sources and should be confirmed via the Drupal advisory. Impact is limited to partial confidentiality and integrity (C:L/I:L), with no availability impact. |
| Impact | This is a low-severity issue and the signals are consistent in pointing to low real-world priority. The input CVSS base score is 3.8 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N, meaning network-reachable but requiring high existing privileges (PR:H) and yielding only limited confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact. EPSS reinforces this with a 0.18% exploitation probability (7th percentile), and the vulnerability is NOT on CISA KEV, so there is no confirmed active exploitation. The vuln.today decision label is 'monitor', which aligns with the low CVSS and low EPSS - this is not act_now or emergency. No PoC or exploit reference is present in the input (the only references are the Drupal security advisory SA-contrib-2026-183 and the NVD/EUVD advisory). The one point worth verifying is the interplay between PR:H and the nature of the flaw: this is a contributed Drupal module whose purpose is to restrict/stop administrator login, and an authentication-bypass-via-alternate-path (CWE-288) against that protection, combined with the PR:H rating, suggests the realistic impact is circumventing the module's intended login restriction rather than a full unauthenticated takeover - confirm the exact prerequisite with the Drupal advisory. Overall: genuinely low priority, not a high-CVSS-but-hidden-risk case. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds high-privilege credentials on a Drupal site running the 'Stop administrator login' module (versions 1.0 through 1.6) reaches the login flow through an alternate path or channel that the module fails to guard, bypassing the intended login restriction. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:H, the attack is remote and low-complexity but requires that pre-existing privileged access, and the resulting impact is limited (C:L/I:L/A:N). No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 22, 2026
Authentication bypass in the Drupal contributed module Stop Administrator Login 1.0 through 1.6 lets an authenticated high-privilege user reach a protected login path through an alternate route that the module does not cover, yielding partial confidentiality and integrity impact. The vendor has released a patch referenced by Drupal SA-CONTRIB-2026-183, EPSS is 0.18% (7th percentile), and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. Consistent with the CVSS 3.8 score and monitor priority, real-world risk is low and exploitation requires existing high-privilege access.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released patch identified in Drupal SA-CONTRIB-2026-183 (https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-183); the provided data confirms that a vendor patch is available but does not specify an exact fixed version, so use the patched release named in the advisory and verify whether version 1.6 is fixed or still affected. No specific workaround is described in the available sources. Because exploitation requires high-privilege credentials per the CVSS PR:H metric, reviewing and minimizing administrator-level accounts limits exposure while the update is rolled out.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-288 describes authentication bypass by using an alternate path or channel to reach functionality without passing the intended access control. Here the affected component is a Drupal contributed module, Stop Administrator Login, which enforces access around login behavior; the flaw means that enforcement is not applied consistently across all relevant routes. The available sources do not describe the specific alternate route or trigger, so the exact bypass mechanism remains unconfirmed beyond the CWE class. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N shows a network-reachable issue that requires high privileges and no user interaction, with only partial confidentiality and integrity impact; Drupal core is not identified as affected, and the CPE cpe:2.3:a:drupal:stop_administrator_login:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* points to the contributed module.
