Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated Drupal user account with high-level administrative privileges (PR:H per CVSS vector) - anonymous or low-privilege user exploitation is not indicated by available data. Additionally, attack complexity is rated High (AC:H), meaning specific conditions beyond simple network reachability must be met, such as precise timing, particular content configurations, or non-default site settings. The Link Content Parser module must be installed and actively enabled on the target Drupal installation. These combined prerequisites - valid admin credentials, high-complexity preconditions, and module presence - substantially limit opportunistic exploitation. There is no evidence of an unauthenticated or low-privilege attack path.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N reflects a vulnerability with high theoretical impact but heavily constrained exploitability: both high attack complexity and administrator-level privileges are required simultaneously. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in ustka should treat this as lower-priority compared to unauthenticated, low-complexity network vulnerabilities - the PR:H and AC:H combination means opportunistic mass exploitation is implausible. KEV status is not confirmed in the provided data, EPSS score is absent, and no POC has been documented, all consistent with a low exploitation-urgency posture. One metadata concern: the 'Information Disclosure' tag is incomplete - the CVSS I:H metric indicates integrity impact is also in scope, not merely data exposure. Real-world risk is primarily relevant in scenarios where administrator account compromise has already occurred.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated Drupal administrator navigates to the content editing interface, submits a specially crafted link field value designed to bypass the module's input validation, and under specific high-complexity conditions triggers the parsing flaw. Successful exploitation could result in unauthorized access to sensitive content data or unauthorized modification of stored records within the Drupal database. No public exploit code is documented at this time.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026

Improper input validation (CWE-20) in the Drupal Link Content Parser contributed module exposes sites to both confidentiality and integrity compromise under high-complexity, high-privilege conditions. All published versions of the module are affected per CPE cpe:2.3:a:drupal:link_content_parser:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, with Drupal's security team confirming the issue via advisory SA-contrib-2026-101. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS score of 5.9 reflects strong mitigating factors - specifically the requirement for administrator-level authentication and high attack complexity.

RemediationAI

Consult the Drupal security advisory SA-contrib-2026-101 at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-101 for a patched module release and upgrade as soon as one is published. If no patch is yet available, restrict Drupal administrator and content-editor roles to the minimum necessary set of trusted, authenticated users, since exploitation requires PR:H access - reducing the attack surface to only fully trusted admins eliminates the primary vector. As an additional compensating control, disable or temporarily uninstall the Link Content Parser module if its link-parsing functionality is not actively required; module removal eliminates the attack surface entirely with no impact to Drupal core or other modules. Monitor the Drupal.org security advisories page for patch availability and subscribe to the SA-contrib feed.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The Link Content Parser is a Drupal contributed module (not Drupal core) that processes link fields within content entities, parsing user-supplied or admin-supplied URL and link data during content editing or display workflows. CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) identifies the root cause: the module fails to sufficiently validate or sanitize link content before processing, enabling malformed or adversarially crafted input to be interpreted in unintended ways. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:drupal:link_content_parser:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions without restriction, suggesting no currently patched release exists. The flaw resides in the module's content-parsing layer, not in the Drupal core framework.
