| Exploitation Conditions | 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. Per CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no authentication, no user interaction, and no special client-side conditions are required - exploitation is remote and network-based against affected installs. The primary limiting factor is deployment scope: only Drupal sites that have specifically added this module are at risk; the exact triggering endpoint and any language-configuration prerequisites are not detailed in the available data and should be confirmed against SA-CONTRIB-2026-081. |
| Impact | 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. Counterbalancing signals, however, temper the urgency: EPSS is only 0.18% (8th percentile), there is no KEV listing and no public exploit identified, and the affected artifact is a niche Drupal contrib module rather than ubiquitous software, so realistic exposure is limited to the subset of Drupal sites running this specific module. The severity ceiling is real for affected sites, but the low EPSS and narrow deployment footprint suggest this is a high-priority patch for the few affected operators rather than a broad, imminently-exploited threat. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker requests the module's alternate SSO login path or callback directly, submitting a crafted request that the secondary channel accepts without completing full authentication, and is granted an authenticated Drupal session. With that session the attacker reads restricted content, modifies data, or escalates within the site consistent with the account context obtained. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and given AC:L/PR:N/UI:N the technique would be straightforward once the endpoint behavior is understood. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 26, 2026
Authentication bypass in the Drupal Internationalization Single Sign-On contributed module (versions 0.0.0 through 1.8.0) lets remote unauthenticated attackers assume authenticated sessions by reaching an alternate authentication path or channel that skips the primary verification logic. Rated CVSS 9.8 with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, it maps to CWE-288 and is addressed in a Drupal security advisory (SA-CONTRIB-2026-081). EPSS is low (0.18%, 8th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
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). If you cannot patch immediately, reduce exposure by disabling the Internationalization Single Sign-On module (which will remove SSO login capability for multilingual users and force use of an alternate authentication method), or restrict access to the module's SSO/callback endpoints at the web server or WAF layer to trusted networks - noting this may break legitimate cross-language login flows. Given the authentication-bypass nature, also review recent authentication logs and consider invalidating existing sessions after remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a Drupal contributed (contrib) module that layers single sign-on onto Drupal's multilingual (Internationalization/i18n) framework, per the CPE cpe:2.3:a:drupal:internationalization_single_sign-on. The root cause is CWE-288, Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel: the module exposes more than one route to establish an authenticated session, and at least one of those routes fails to enforce the checks applied on the primary path. In SSO integrations this class of flaw typically arises when a secondary endpoint, callback, or language-specific route trusts a token, redirect, or session assertion that should have been validated, allowing session establishment without completing the intended authentication handshake.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel vulnerability in Drupal Internationalization Single Sign-On allows Authentication Bypass. This issue affects Internationalization Single Sign-On versions: from 0.0.0 to 1.8.0.
Executive ViewAI
The Drupal Internationalization Single Sign-On module (versions 0.0.0-1.8.0) contains a critical authentication bypass allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to assume authenticated user sessions without valid credentials. This exposes all users and protected data within affected Drupal installations to account takeover and unauthorized system access. A vendor patch is available and requires immediate deployment to mitigate business continuity and data protection risk.
Apply vendor patch.
