Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 18 Nov 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade drupal/core to 11.2.8, 11.1.9, 10.5.6 or 10.4.9.

AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately assess their Drupal core versions and upgrade to the fixed releases: 10.4.9 or later, 10.5.6 or later, 11.1.9 or later, and 11.2.8 or later. Beyond upgrading, organizations should audit custom themes and modules for any UI rendering logic that could exacerbate spoofing risks and implement strict input validation and output encoding to prevent injection of misleading content. Employing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can help mitigate the impact of injected scripts or content manipulation. User education campaigns should be conducted to raise awareness about phishing and spoofing risks, emphasizing caution when interacting with unexpected or suspicious UI elements. Web application firewalls (WAFs) can be tuned to detect and block suspicious payloads targeting Drupal UI components. Regular monitoring of web logs and user reports for anomalies related to UI content can help detect exploitation attempts early. Finally, organizations should subscribe to Drupal security advisories to promptly receive updates on patches and related vulnerabilities.

Description

User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information vulnerability in Drupal Drupal core allows Content Spoofing.This issue affects Drupal core: from 8.0.0 before 10.4.9, from 10.5.0 before 10.5.6, from 11.0.0 before 11.1.9, from 11.2.0 before 11.2.8.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability primarily poses a risk to the integrity of user interactions with web applications powered by Drupal core. While it does not compromise data confidentiality or integrity directly, the UI misrepresentation can facilitate phishing, social engineering, or fraudulent activities by deceiving users about the authenticity of displayed content. This can lead to reputational damage, loss of user trust, and potential indirect financial losses if users are tricked into submitting sensitive information or credentials. Public sector websites, e-commerce platforms, and any Drupal-based portals handling user interactions are particularly vulnerable to exploitation. The availability impact is low but may cause minor service disruptions or user confusion. Since Drupal is widely used across Europe for government, education, and commercial websites, the scope of affected systems is significant. The requirement for user interaction means that attackers must entice users to engage with malicious content, which may limit large-scale automated exploitation but does not eliminate targeted attacks. Organizations failing to patch may face increased risk of targeted phishing campaigns leveraging this vulnerability.

Class weaknessOWASP Top 10 A06:2025: Insecure Design (opens in a new tab)
The user interface (UI) does not properly represent critical information to the user, allowing the information - or its source - to be obscured or spoofed. This is often a component in phishing attacks.
Implementation · Input Validation
Perform data validation (e.g. syntax, length, etc.) before interpreting the data.
