CVE-2026-3573
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 · uneditedIncorrect Authorization vulnerability in Drupal AI (Artificial Intelligence) allows Resource Injection.This issue affects AI (Artificial Intelligence): from 0.0.0 before 1.1.11, from 1.2.0 before 1.2.12.
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 · moderate confidenceThe Drupal AI module versions prior to 1.1.11 and 1.2.12 contain an incorrect authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated users to perform resource injection, potentially enabling unauthorized access to AI resources or manipulation of AI operations.

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.
-
Verify Drupal AI module is installedIn the Drupal admin dashboard, navigate to Extend (admin/modules) and search for 'Artificial Intelligence' or 'AI' module. Alternatively, check the codebase for the ai module in /modules/contrib/ai/ or run: drush pm-list --type=module --status=enabled | grep -i aiAffected if The AI module appears in the list of installed/enabled modules
-
Determine installed AI module versionCheck the ai.info.yml file in the module directory, or run: drush pm:info ai. Look for the Version field in the output.Affected if The version displayed is less than 1.1.11, or greater than or equal to 1.2.0 but less than 1.2.12
-
Confirm AI module resource features are accessibleNavigate to People > Roles (admin/config/people/roles) and check which roles have permissions related to AI operations (such as 'Use AI agents', 'Access AI resources', or similar AI-related permissions). Verify if authenticated users or non-admin roles have been granted these permissions.Affected if Authenticated users (authenticated user role) or other non-administrative roles have been assigned AI resource or AI operation permissions
-
Inspect AI module configuration for resource injection settingsNavigate to Configuration > AI settings (admin/config/ai) or check the ai.settings.yml configuration file. Look for settings related to resource endpoints, external AI service connections, or resource injection paths that could be manipulated.Affected if The module exposes configurable AI resource endpoints or external service connections that authenticated users can modify or access
-
Review access logs for AI resource activityCheck Drupal logs (admin/reports/dblog) or external logging for entries related to AI module endpoints. Look for requests to AI resource paths from user accounts that should not have elevated AI access.Affected if Logs show AI resource access or manipulation attempts from authenticated users who should not have such access based on your intended role permissions
Your environment is affected if the Drupal AI module is installed and enabled with a version prior to 1.1.11 or between 1.2.0 and 1.2.11 inclusive, and authenticated users have AI resource access permissions.

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 · scoped1.1.111.2.12
Update the Drupal AI module to version 1.1.11 or 1.2.12 or later to resolve the authorization bypass. Review user role permissions and audit access logs for suspicious AI resource activity.
Drupal AI module version 1.1.11 (for 1.x branches) or 1.2.12 (for 1.2.x branch)
- Identify the currently installed version of the Drupal AI module by reviewing composer.json or the Drupal admin interface
- For sites running AI module versions below 1.1.11: Run 'composer require drupal/ai:1.1.11' to upgrade to the first fixed release
- For sites running AI module versions 1.2.0-1.2.11: Run 'composer require drupal/ai:1.2.12' to upgrade to the first fixed release
- After upgrading, clear the Drupal cache using 'drush cr' or via the admin interface at /admin/config/development/performance
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the module version at /admin/modules or via 'drush pm:list | grep ai'
- Review the module's functionality to ensure the authorization fix does not break existing workflows
