Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 13 Jun 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
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
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 2026-10-25.

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.

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately audit their Drupal installations to identify if the COOKiES Consent Management module is in use and verify the version. If the module is present and unpatched, temporary mitigations include implementing strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts and sanitizing or filtering user inputs at the application or web server level. Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) can be configured with custom rules to detect and block typical XSS attack patterns targeting this module. Administrators should also monitor web logs for suspicious requests that may indicate exploitation attempts. Until an official patch is released, consider disabling or replacing the vulnerable module with alternative cookie consent solutions that are verified secure. Additionally, educating web developers and administrators on secure coding and input validation practices can reduce the risk of similar vulnerabilities. Regularly updating Drupal core and contributed modules is essential once patches become available. Finally, organizations should review their incident response plans to quickly address any potential exploitation.

Description

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Drupal COOKiES Consent Management allows Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).This issue affects COOKiES Consent Management: from 0.0.0 before 1.2.15.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this XSS vulnerability can be significant, especially given the widespread use of Drupal as a content management system in government, healthcare, education, and private sectors. Exploitation could lead to theft of session tokens, enabling attackers to impersonate legitimate users, including administrators, potentially leading to further compromise of sensitive data and systems. Additionally, attackers could inject malicious scripts to conduct phishing attacks, redirect users to malicious sites, or manipulate displayed content, undermining user trust and violating privacy regulations such as GDPR. Since the module manages cookie consent, exploitation could also interfere with compliance mechanisms, exposing organizations to regulatory penalties. The vulnerability could disrupt availability indirectly by enabling further attacks that degrade service or cause reputational damage. The lack of a patch increases the window of exposure, and organizations relying on this module must be vigilant. The impact is amplified in sectors handling sensitive personal data or critical infrastructure, where trust and data integrity are paramount.

Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation · Architecture and Design
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages.
