Drupal core Open Redirect vulnerability
Real-World Exposure
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
Drupal 7 has an Open Redirect vulnerability. For example, a user could be tricked into visiting a specially crafted link which would redirect them to an arbitrary external URL.
The vulnerability is caused by insufficient validation of the destination query parameter in the drupal_goto() function.

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 7.70 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-wxfg-253g-m7r4 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-wxfg-253g-m7r4 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-wxfg-253g-m7r4. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
