Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-3907 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the Drupal Search API Solr module, affecting all versions prior to 4.3.9. This vulnerability arises because the module does not adequately verify the origin of requests that trigger state-changing actions, allowing an attacker to craft malicious web requests that, when executed by an authenticated user, can cause unintended operations within the Drupal environment. Specifically, the vulnerability is classified under CWE-352, which pertains to CSRF attacks where unauthorized commands are transmitted from a user that the web application trusts. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3, indicating a medium severity level. The vector details (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) show that the attack can be launched remotely over the network without privileges, requires low attack complexity, and needs user interaction (such as clicking a link). The impact is limited to integrity loss, with no confidentiality or availability impact. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet, although the issue was reserved and published on April 23, 2025. The Search API Solr module integrates Drupal with Apache Solr search platforms, widely used to enhance search capabilities on Drupal-powered websites. Exploitation could allow attackers to manipulate search configurations or indexing operations indirectly via CSRF, potentially degrading the integrity of search results or site behavior.

Potential Impact

For European organizations using Drupal with the Search API Solr module, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized modification of search configurations or indexing parameters without direct authentication, undermining the integrity of their web services. While the confidentiality and availability of data remain unaffected, the integrity compromise could result in misleading search results or altered site behavior, which may impact user trust and operational reliability. Organizations in sectors relying heavily on accurate search functionality—such as e-commerce, government portals, educational institutions, and media—may experience reputational damage or operational disruptions. Since exploitation requires user interaction, phishing or social engineering campaigns could be used to trick authenticated users into triggering malicious requests. The medium severity rating suggests that while the threat is not critical, it remains significant enough to warrant prompt attention, especially in environments with high user interaction and sensitive search configurations.

Mitigation Recommendations

1. Upgrade the Search API Solr module to version 4.3.9 or later as soon as it becomes available to ensure the vulnerability is patched. 2. Implement strict CSRF token validation on all state-changing endpoints within the Drupal environment, especially those exposed by the Search API Solr module. 3. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers and SameSite cookie attributes to reduce the risk of CSRF attacks by restricting cross-origin requests and cookie transmission. 4. Educate users and administrators about the risks of phishing and social engineering attacks that could trigger CSRF exploits, emphasizing cautious behavior with unsolicited links or emails. 5. Monitor web server and application logs for unusual POST requests or unexpected changes in search configurations that could indicate attempted exploitation. 6. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules tailored to detect and block CSRF attack patterns targeting Drupal modules. 7. Review and minimize user privileges to limit the number of users who can perform sensitive actions via the Search API Solr interface, reducing the attack surface.
