Real-World Exposure
drupal/drupal🐘drupal/drupal🐘drupal/drupalReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
The path module in Drupal allows users with the 'administer paths' to create pretty URLs for content. In certain circumstances the user can enter a particular path that triggers an open redirect to a malicious url.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for drupal/drupal, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update drupal/drupal to 7.60 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-r67r-42wx-c8r7 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Stop reflecting attacker-controlled destinations: resolve every redirect target against an allowlist of paths or hosts you own, prefer a server-side key over a full URL in the request, and reject absolute URLs entirely where the flow only ever needs a relative one.
