Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires: (1) an active Drupal administrator-level account (PR:H) on the target site; (2) the Gammu SMS Daemon contributed module must be installed and enabled; (3) high attack complexity (AC:H) conditions must be met - the exact trigger is not detailed in the available description, but is likely a specific configuration state or crafted input to the SMS gateway interface. Exploitation is limited by the PR:H requirement - unauthenticated or low-privileged users cannot reach the vulnerable code path. Sites that do not have the Gammu SMS Daemon module installed are completely unaffected regardless of Drupal version.

Impact

The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) scores 5.9 (Medium), reflecting a balance between high confidentiality/integrity impact and significant limiting factors: High Attack Complexity (AC:H) and High Privileges Required (PR:H). In practice, exploitation demands an already-privileged Drupal administrator account plus specific conditions to trigger the memory corruption reliably - this substantially narrows the realistic attacker population and opportunity. The A:N metric is unusual for a buffer overflow and may reflect a controlled overread or partial overwrite that does not crash the daemon, though this is inferred rather than confirmed by vendor documentation. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or public exploit code is present in the input data. Real-world risk is further constrained by the niche deployment footprint of this contrib module; sites not using Drupal SMS gateway functionality are entirely unaffected. Overall, this is a medium-priority issue: significant impact if exploited by a compromised admin account, but not an immediate emergency for most environments.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained or compromised a Drupal administrator account on a site running the Gammu SMS Daemon module sends a specially crafted request or configures a malicious SMS gateway parameter that triggers a buffer overflow in the module's memory handling. Under the right AC:H conditions, this corrupts process memory in a controlled manner, allowing the attacker to read sensitive application data (C:H) or overwrite memory to alter program behavior (I:H). No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026

Buffer overflow (CWE-119) in the Drupal Gammu SMS Daemon contributed module exposes high-privilege authenticated administrators to memory corruption that yields both confidentiality and integrity compromise. The vulnerability affects all released versions of the module (*.* wildcard CPE), with no patched release confirmed in the provided data. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, and the high attack complexity combined with the requirement for elevated Drupal privileges substantially limits opportunistic exploitation.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patched version is confirmed from the available data; consult the Drupal security advisory at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-100 for the latest patch status and module update instructions. If a patch has been released, apply it through Drupal's standard module update workflow (drush pm:update or the admin UI). As an interim compensating control, consider disabling the Gammu SMS Daemon module entirely if SMS gateway functionality is not actively required - this eliminates the attack surface with no impact on unrelated site functionality. Additionally, restrict Drupal administrator-level roles to the minimum set of trusted accounts, since PR:H means exploitation requires admin-level credentials. Monitor drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-100 for patch availability updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Gammu SMS Daemon is a Drupal contributed module (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:drupal:gammu_sms_daemon:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that integrates the Gammu telephony toolkit into Drupal sites to send and receive SMS messages via connected modems or gateways. CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) covers classic buffer overflows, heap overflows, and related memory corruption primitives. In this context, the network-adjacent attack vector (AV:N) combined with AC:H suggests the overflow is reachable through the module's handling of inbound or configured SMS gateway data, but requires specific preconditions - likely crafted input or a particular configuration state - to be reliably triggered. The S:U (no scope change) indicates the impact is bounded to the Drupal application and its host process rather than escaping to the underlying OS.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
