CVE-2026-107259 Drupal CVE debrief
The Linked Field module for Drupal allows linking field output to a URL or another field value. However, it does not sufficiently separate field content from template code when rendering linked field output. This can be used to expose site configuration values, potentially including sensitive information like API keys or credentials, depending on the Twig extensions installed. The vulnerability is mitigated by requiring an attacker to have a role with permission to create or edit content in a field with Linked Field enabled.
