CVE-2025-13082 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-451, indicating a User Interface (UI) misrepresentation of critical information within Drupal core. This flaw allows attackers to perform content spoofing by manipulating the UI to display false or misleading information to users. The vulnerability affects multiple Drupal core versions: from 8.0.0 up to but not including 10.4.9, from 10.5.0 up to but not including 10.5.6, from 11.0.0 up to but not including 11.1.9, and from 11.2.0 up to but not including 11.2.8. The root cause lies in improper handling or validation of UI elements that represent critical information, which can be exploited to deceive users into taking unintended actions or trusting falsified data. Although no exploits have been reported in the wild, the vulnerability poses a risk to the integrity and trustworthiness of web content served by Drupal-based websites. The absence of a CVSS score suggests that the vulnerability is newly disclosed, and its full impact is still being assessed. However, the nature of UI misrepresentation can lead to phishing-like scenarios, social engineering, or manipulation of user decisions, especially in environments where Drupal is used for critical content delivery or transactional websites. The vulnerability requires attackers to have the ability to influence UI content, which may or may not require authentication depending on the specific context of the Drupal deployment. The issue is addressed in Drupal core updates beyond the specified affected versions, but no direct patch links are provided in the source information.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-13082 can be significant, particularly for entities relying on Drupal for public-facing websites, e-commerce platforms, or internal portals where accurate information presentation is critical. Content spoofing can undermine user trust, lead to misinformation, and potentially facilitate further attacks such as phishing or fraud. In sectors like government, finance, healthcare, and media, where Drupal is widely used, misrepresented UI information could result in reputational damage, regulatory non-compliance, or financial losses. Since the vulnerability affects multiple major Drupal versions, organizations running outdated or unpatched Drupal instances are at higher risk. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate threat levels but does not eliminate the risk of future exploitation. European organizations must consider the potential for attackers to leverage this vulnerability to manipulate users or inject misleading content, which could cascade into broader security incidents or data integrity issues.

To mitigate CVE-2025-13082, European organizations should prioritize updating Drupal core to versions beyond the affected releases: specifically, versions 10.4.9 or later, 10.5.6 or later, 11.1.9 or later, and 11.2.8 or later. Organizations should conduct an inventory of Drupal instances to identify affected versions and apply patches promptly. Beyond patching, administrators should audit UI components and custom modules for any improper handling of critical information display. Implementing strict content validation and sanitization controls can reduce the risk of UI manipulation. User training to recognize suspicious or inconsistent UI elements can help mitigate social engineering risks stemming from this vulnerability. Monitoring web application logs for unusual content changes or user reports of UI inconsistencies can provide early detection of exploitation attempts. Employing web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting content spoofing patterns may also help reduce exposure. Finally, organizations should maintain a robust update and vulnerability management process to quickly respond to Drupal security advisories.
