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.

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

Stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Drupal's Obfuscate module allows attackers to inject malicious scripts through improper input neutralization. The vulnerability is stored (persistent), meaning the malicious payload is saved on the server and executed when other users view the affected content.

MitigationUpdate the Drupal Obfuscate module to version 2.0.1 or later to patch the input validation flaw. Review existing content for any injected malicious scripts.

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. Check installed Obfuscate module version
    Locate the Obfuscate module directory (typically in modules/contrib/obfuscate or modules/custom/obfuscate) and examine the info.yml file or composer.json to find the current version number.
    Affected if The version is below 2.0.1 (e.g., 2.0.0, 1.x.x, or unversioned)
  2. Verify Obfuscate module is enabled
    In the Drupal admin interface, navigate to Extend or use drush pm-list --type=module to confirm the Obfuscate module is installed and enabled.
    Affected if The module shows as enabled or installed
  3. Identify content types using Obfuscate fields
    Review field configuration at Structure > Content Types > [type] > Manage Fields, or inspect the field storage configuration in the database (config table) for fields with type 'obfuscate' or field_type referencing obfuscation.
    Affected if Any content type has fields configured to use the Obfuscate widget or formatter
  4. Check form displays using Obfuscate
    Inspect view modes and form displays at Structure > Content Types > [type] > Manage Form Display and Manage Display to see if Obfuscate formatters are assigned to any fields.
    Affected if Obfuscate formatters are assigned to visible fields that store user-supplied data
  5. Review recent content for unexpected scripts
    Query the database for recent node revisions or check the node_content table for any script tags or HTML in fields that use obfuscation, or examine recent content entries through the admin content list.
    Affected if Malicious script payloads (script tags, event handlers, javascript: URIs) are found in fields that should contain obfuscated data

The environment is affected if the Obfuscate module version is below 2.0.1 and the module is enabled with any fields or content types using obfuscation functionality.
