MEDIUMDrupal Core Cross-site scripting vulnerability
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Drupal Core allows an attacker could leverage the way that HTML is rendered for affected forms in order to exploit the vulnerability. This issue affects: Drupal Core 8.8.X versions prior to 8.8.10; 8.9.X versions prior to 8.9.6; 9.0.X versions prior to 9.0.6.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐘Packagist | drupal/core | ≥ 8.8.0&&< 8.8.10 | 8.8.10 |
| 🐘Packagist | drupal/core | ≥ 8.9.0&&< 8.9.6 | 8.9.6 |
| 🐘Packagist | drupal/core | ≥ 9.0.0&&< 9.0.6 | 9.0.6 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for drupal/core. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update drupal/core to 8.8.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-qf2g-mrrx-rr5p is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-qf2g-mrrx-rr5p is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-qf2g-mrrx-rr5p. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-qf2g-mrrx-rr5p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-qf2g-mrrx-rr5p across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
