Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Drupal Node export allows Object Injection.This issue affects Node export: from 7.X-* before 7.X-3.3.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Drupal Node export module versions before 7.X-3.3 suffer from a deserialization vulnerability where untrusted data is processed without proper validation. This Object Injection flaw could allow an attacker to instantiate malicious PHP objects, potentially leading to code execution or other downstream attacks depending on available gadget chains in the Drupal environment.

MitigationUpdate the Node export module to version 7.X-3.3 or later to obtain the patch. If immediate updating is not possible, consider disabling or removing the Node export module until the update can be applied.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if Node Export module is installed
    Locate the node_export module directory in the Drupal modules folder (commonly sites/all/modules or web/modules). Check for the presence of the node_export directory containing .info and .module files.
    Affected if Node Export module directory exists in the Drupal modules path
  2. Determine the installed Node Export version
    Open the node_export.info file (or node_export.module) and locate the version line (e.g., version = 7.x-3.x). Compare this version number against the affected range.
    Affected if Version is 7.x-3.0, 7.x-3.1, or 7.x-3.2 (any version before 7.x-3.3)
  3. Check if the module is enabled
    Query the Drupal system table via database (SELECT status FROM system WHERE name = 'node_export') or use Drush command 'drush pm-list --status=enabled' to list enabled modules. Alternatively, check via Drupal admin interface at /admin/modules.
    Affected if Node Export module shows status as enabled or 1 in the system table

If the Node Export module is installed with version 7.x-3.0 through 7.x-3.2 and is enabled, the environment is vulnerable to deserialization attacks via this CVE.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 7.x-3.3 or later
Fixed in 7.x-3.3
Interim mitigation

Update the Node export module to version 7.X-3.3 or later to obtain the patch. If immediate updating is not possible, consider disabling or removing the Node export module until the update can be applied.

Recommended fix High confidence

7.x-3.3

  1. Backup your Drupal site database and files before updating
  2. Update the Node export module to version 7.x-3.3 via your package manager (composer) or by downloading from Drupal.org
  3. Clear Drupal caches after updating (drush cr or admin UI)
  4. Verify the module version shows 7.x-3.3 at admin/modules
  5. Test Node export functionality to confirm the site works as expected
