CVE-2025-10927 identifies a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Drupal Plausible tracking module, specifically versions prior to 1.0.2. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation, classified under CWE-79. This flaw allows an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code into web pages rendered by the module, which can then execute in the context of users visiting the affected site. Such XSS attacks can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, defacement, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the user. The vulnerability affects the Plausible tracking module starting from version 0.0.0 up to but not including 1.0.2. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the nature of XSS vulnerabilities makes them relatively straightforward to exploit, especially on sites with high user interaction. The vulnerability was reserved on September 24, 2025, and published on October 29, 2025. No CVSS score has been assigned yet, and no official patches are linked, indicating that remediation may be pending or in progress. The Drupal project is the vendor responsible for this module, which is commonly used for privacy-focused web analytics integrated into Drupal sites.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses significant risks, especially for those relying on Drupal-based websites with the Plausible tracking module enabled. Successful exploitation could compromise user data confidentiality by stealing session cookies or credentials, leading to unauthorized access. Integrity of web content could be undermined through injected malicious scripts, potentially damaging organizational reputation and trust. Availability impact is generally limited in XSS but could be leveraged in combination with other attacks to disrupt services. Given the widespread use of Drupal in Europe, particularly in government, education, and enterprise sectors, the vulnerability could affect a broad range of targets. Attackers could exploit this flaw to conduct phishing campaigns, spread malware, or escalate privileges within compromised sites. The absence of authentication requirements and the ease of injecting scripts increase the threat level. Additionally, compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations means that exploitation leading to data breaches could result in legal and financial penalties for affected organizations.

Organizations should prioritize upgrading the Drupal Plausible tracking module to version 1.0.2 or later as soon as the patch is available. Until then, applying temporary mitigations such as disabling the Plausible tracking module or restricting its use to trusted users can reduce exposure. Implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can help mitigate the impact of injected scripts by restricting script execution sources. Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) should be configured to detect and block typical XSS payloads targeting Drupal sites. Conduct thorough input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within custom Drupal modules or themes to prevent similar vulnerabilities. Regular security audits and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities are recommended. Monitoring web server and application logs for unusual activity or script injection attempts can provide early detection. Educate developers and administrators on secure coding practices and the risks associated with third-party modules. Finally, maintain an incident response plan tailored to web application compromises to quickly address any exploitation attempts.
