CVE-2025-14472 is a security vulnerability classified under CWE-352, indicating a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) issue within the Drupal Acquia Content Hub module. This module facilitates content synchronization across Drupal instances and external systems. The vulnerability affects versions from initial releases up to 3.6.4 and from 3.7.0 up to but not including 3.7.3. CSRF vulnerabilities allow attackers to induce authenticated users to perform unintended actions by exploiting the trust a web application places in the user's browser. In this case, an attacker could craft a malicious web page or link that, when visited by an authenticated user of Acquia Content Hub, triggers unauthorized requests that the system processes as legitimate. This could result in unauthorized content changes, configuration modifications, or other actions permitted by the user's privileges within the Content Hub. The vulnerability does not have a CVSS score assigned yet, and no public exploits have been reported. However, the risk lies in the potential for attackers to manipulate content synchronization workflows, which could disrupt content integrity and availability. Since the exploit requires user authentication and user interaction (visiting a malicious page), the attack vector is somewhat limited but still significant for environments with high-value content and collaboration. The absence of patch links in the provided data suggests that users should monitor official Drupal and Acquia channels for updates and advisories. Organizations relying on Acquia Content Hub should assess their exposure, especially if they use affected versions, and plan for prompt remediation once patches are available.

For European organizations, the impact of this CSRF vulnerability can be substantial, particularly for those heavily reliant on Drupal Acquia Content Hub for content management and synchronization across multiple sites or platforms. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized content modifications, potentially causing misinformation, reputational damage, or operational disruptions. Integrity of published content could be compromised, affecting customer trust and compliance with content governance policies. Availability might also be impacted if attackers manipulate synchronization processes, leading to content outages or inconsistencies. Given the collaborative nature of content hubs, the vulnerability could facilitate lateral movement within an organization's digital infrastructure if combined with other vulnerabilities. Organizations in sectors such as media, government, education, and e-commerce, which frequently use Drupal, may face increased risks. Additionally, regulatory frameworks like GDPR emphasize data integrity and security, so exploitation could have legal and financial consequences. The requirement for user authentication and interaction limits the attack scope but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments with many users or where users have elevated privileges.

To mitigate this vulnerability effectively, European organizations should: 1) Immediately inventory Drupal Acquia Content Hub installations and identify affected versions. 2) Monitor official Drupal and Acquia security advisories for the release of patches addressing CVE-2025-14472 and apply them promptly. 3) Implement or reinforce anti-CSRF tokens and validation mechanisms in all forms and state-changing requests within the Content Hub environment. 4) Educate users about the risks of clicking on suspicious links or visiting untrusted websites while authenticated to Drupal systems. 5) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block CSRF attack patterns targeting Acquia Content Hub endpoints. 6) Restrict user privileges to the minimum necessary, limiting the potential impact of compromised accounts. 7) Enable comprehensive logging and monitoring to detect unusual or unauthorized actions within the Content Hub. 8) Consider network segmentation and access controls to reduce exposure of critical content management systems. 9) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on web application vulnerabilities including CSRF. 10) Prepare incident response plans specific to content integrity breaches to ensure rapid containment and recovery.
