Synopsis

Drupal 8.7.x < 9.5.11 Cache Poisoning

Description

According to its self-reported version, the instance of Drupal running on the remote web server is 8.7.x prior to 9.5.11, 10.0.x prior to 10.0.11 or 10.1.x prior to 10.1.4. In certain scenarios, Drupal's JSON:API module will output error backtraces. With some configurations, this may cause sensitive information to be cached and made available to anonymous users, leading to privilege escalation.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update to Drupal version 9.5.11 or latest.
