Exploitation Conditions

No authentication is required - the CVSS vector PR:N confirms unauthenticated exploitation. The Drupal site must have the Data field contributed module installed and enabled, running a version in the range 0.0.0 to 2.0.13. Exploitation is limited to confidentiality impact only (C:L); no write or destructive capability is exposed. Sites that do not install this contributed module are entirely unaffected. The data exposed is limited to whatever content is stored in Data field-typed fields; sites not storing sensitive data in those fields face negligible practical impact.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N reflects a medium-severity information disclosure. The low complexity and no-privilege-required rating mean exploitation is straightforward and automatable against any exposed Drupal instance running the affected module. However, the impact is bounded: only confidentiality is affected, and only at a low level (C:L), suggesting partial or limited data exposure rather than wholesale database access. No EPSS data was provided, no KEV listing exists, and no public proof-of-concept has been identified, all consistent with a low-urgency advisory. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag in the metadata is a mislabel - CWE-862 is Missing Authorization, a distinct class. Real-world risk depends on whether the exposed field data contains sensitive content; sites storing PII or confidential content in Data field entities carry higher practical risk than those using it for generic structured data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker who knows or can enumerate the URL pattern for Drupal Data field content sends direct HTTP GET requests to those endpoints. Because the module omits the authorization check, the server returns field data without verifying the requester's permissions. No exploit code or specialized tooling is required beyond a standard HTTP client.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026

Forceful browsing via missing authorization in the Drupal Data field contributed module (versions up to 2.0.13) exposes field data to unauthenticated network access. The module fails to enforce access control checks before serving field content, allowing an attacker to directly request protected data resources by crafting or guessing their URLs. A vendor patch is available; no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade the Drupal Data field module to version 2.0.13 or later, which contains the vendor-released authorization fix. The primary advisory is available at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-108; administrators should also review https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-111 in case it covers related scope. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, a compensating control is to restrict HTTP access to Drupal field data endpoints at the web server or WAF layer, or to disable the Data field module entirely until patching is feasible. Restricting access to authenticated sessions only at the reverse proxy level (requiring login before any Drupal page load) would also eliminate the unauthenticated vector, though this is a broad trade-off unsuitable for public-facing sites.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The Data field module (cpe:2.3:a:drupal:data_field:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a contributed Drupal extension that provides structured data storage as field types within the Drupal content entity system. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) indicates the module does not implement or invoke a proper authorization check before returning field data over HTTP - a class of flaw distinct from authentication bypass. Forceful browsing (the declared attack type) occurs when an application exposes direct object references or resource endpoints without verifying whether the requesting party holds the required permission, allowing any network client to enumerate or retrieve content that should be gated behind a role or permission check.
