CVE-2025-3130
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 · uneditedImproper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Drupal Obfuscate allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Obfuscate: from 0.0.0 before 2.0.1.
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 confidenceStored 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.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check installed Obfuscate module versionLocate 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)
-
Verify Obfuscate module is enabledIn 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
-
Identify content types using Obfuscate fieldsReview 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
-
Check form displays using ObfuscateInspect 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
-
Review recent content for unexpected scriptsQuery 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.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2.0.1
Update 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.
2.0.1
- Back up your Drupal site database and files
- Update the Obfuscate module using Composer: composer require drupal/obfuscate:^2.0.1
- Run database updates: drush updatedb (or via admin UI at /update.php)
- Clear Drupal caches: drush cr (or via admin UI at /admin/config/development/performance)
