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
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ("Cross-site Scripting") vulnerability in Drupal Drupal core allows Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This issue affects Drupal core: from 8.0.0 before 10.5.9, from 10.6.0 before 10.6.7, from 11.0.0 before 11.2.11, from 11.3.0 before 11.3.7.

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

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Drupal core allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages through improper input neutralization. The vulnerability affects multiple Drupal versions spanning 8.x, 10.x, and 11.x branches, requiring updates to specific patched versions (10.5.9, 10.6.7, 11.2.11, or 11.3.7).

MitigationUpdate Drupal core to the patched version appropriate for the installed branch (10.5.9+, 10.6.7+, 11.2.11+, or 11.3.7+) and verify the XSS fix does not introduce regressions.

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. Determine installed Drupal core version
    Locate the VERSION file in the Drupal root directory, or run 'drush status' or 'composer show drupal/core' to retrieve the exact version number
    Affected if The version falls within any of these ranges: >= 8.0.0 and < 10.5.9, >= 10.6.0 and < 10.6.7, >= 11.0.0 and < 11.2.11, or >= 11.3.0 and < 11.3.7
  2. Check if site accepts and displays user-generated content
    Review enabled modules that accept user input (such as webforms, comment modules, or custom content types) and verify whether this content is rendered in pages without additional output filtering
    Affected if The site processes and displays user-submitted content in web pages without proper sanitization
  3. Identify publicly accessible input pathways
    Audit which Drupal forms and fields are exposed to anonymous or authenticated users, particularly those that store data for later display in page generation
    Affected if Untrusted user input can be submitted and subsequently rendered in output without the fixed security patch applied

You are affected if your Drupal core version is within any of the four vulnerable ranges AND your site allows users to submit content that gets rendered in generated web pages.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 10.5.9 / 10.6.7 / 11.2.11 or later
Fixed in 10.5.910.6.711.2.11
Interim mitigation

Update Drupal core to the patched version appropriate for the installed branch (10.5.9+, 10.6.7+, 11.2.11+, or 11.3.7+) and verify the XSS fix does not introduce regressions.

Recommended fix High confidence

Drupal 10.6.7, 11.2.11, or 11.3.7 (latest stable in your branch)

  1. 1. Back up your Drupal database and files before upgrading.
  2. 2. Review contributed modules and themes for compatibility with the target Drupal version.
  3. 3. Run `composer require drupal/core:^10.6.7 --update-with-all-dependencies` (or appropriate version for your branch)
  4. 4. Clear Drupal cache: `drush cr` or `php core/scripts/drupal cache-clear.php`
  5. 5. Verify the upgrade by running database updates: `drush updatedb`
  6. 6. Test critical functionality on a staging environment before deploying to production.
Caveat Minor version upgrades are typically low-risk but review module compatibility; Drupal 11.x may have more significant changes from Drupal 10.x
