MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution 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 session with high administrative privileges on the target Drupal installation (PR:H), ruling out unauthenticated remote attackers. AC:H indicates that specific conditions beyond a basic network request must be satisfied - likely a particular module configuration state or non-default Drupal permission assignment. User interaction is mandatory (UI:R): a second user must load the page or view the content containing the injected payload for the XSS to execute. Exploitation is therefore limited to insiders, compromised admin accounts, or social engineering scenarios where an admin can be induced to trigger the vulnerable rendering path. No special network position is required beyond reaching the Drupal site over the network. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N yields a base score of 7.3, which accurately reflects the tension between high theoretical post-exploitation impact and substantially constrained exploitability. PR:H restricts the attacker population to users holding administrative-level Drupal credentials, and AC:H signals that specific conditions beyond a simple network request must be met. UI:R requires a victim to load the poisoned content, adding another dependency. The scope-changed C:H/I:H outcome - session hijacking or full account takeover of affected users - is serious if achieved, and even a mid-sized municipal IT team in gliwice should treat this as a priority patch item during their next maintenance window rather than a crisis response. No EPSS score is available in the provided data, and the absence of KEV listing and public exploit code suggests exploitation remains opportunistic or theoretical at this time. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds or has compromised an administrative Drupal account navigates to the Screenshot module's configuration or input interface and submits a payload containing malicious JavaScript. When a target user - including another administrator - subsequently views the page or output that renders the screenshot data, the script executes in their browser, enabling the attacker to steal session cookies or perform actions on the target's behalf. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026
Cross-site scripting (XSS) in the Drupal Screenshot contributed module allows a high-privileged authenticated attacker to inject malicious script content that executes in the browser context of other users who view the affected output, crossing security boundaries as reflected by the scope-changed CVSS vector. All tracked versions of the module are affected per the wildcard CPE and EUVD-2026-70010 listing. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis; Drupal's security team published advisory SA-CONTRIB-2026-102.
RemediationAI
Apply the update specified in Drupal security advisory SA-CONTRIB-2026-102, available at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-102. The exact patched version number is not reproduced in the data available for this analysis and must be obtained directly from the Drupal advisory. As an interim compensating control, disable the Screenshot module entirely if it is not actively required - this eliminates the attack surface without system-wide impact, though it removes screenshot functionality. Restricting administrative role assignment to the minimum necessary set of trusted users further limits the PR:H exploitation path. Enforce Content Security Policy (CSP) headers as a defense-in-depth measure to reduce XSS payload execution impact even if the vulnerability is triggered.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation - Cross-site Scripting) is the root cause, indicating the Screenshot module fails to adequately sanitize or escape attacker-controlled data before it is rendered in HTML responses. The Drupal Screenshot module is a contributed (community-maintained) addon to the Drupal CMS, distinct from Drupal core, and handles capture or embedding of screenshot content within the site. The CVSS S:C (Scope Changed) metric confirms the injected payload escapes the module's own security context and executes within a victim user's browser session, enabling cross-user impact. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:drupal:screenshot:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions without a bounded upper limit.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in Drupal Screenshot. This issue affects Screenshot versions: *.*.
Executive ViewAI
A vulnerability in Drupal's Screenshot contributed module (CVE-2026-76782, CVSS 7.3) allows administrators or high-privilege account holders to inject malicious code that executes when other Drupal users access affected content. This could enable account compromise or session hijacking for users viewing that content. Organizations using this module should treat this as a priority security control gap given the absence of available patches.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Disable the Screenshot module if operationally feasible. If retention is required, restrict module access to a minimal set of trusted administrators with multi-factor authentication, implement output encoding at the application level to neutralize XSS payloads, deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) configured to detect and block XSS attempts, and enable detailed audit logging to detect and respond to unauthorized high-privilege account activity.
