CVE-2026-114536 Drupal CVE debrief

Who should care

Drupal site administrators and security teams should assess their exposure to this vulnerability, especially if they are using the USWDS Paragraph Components module. They should verify the version of the module in use and ensure that it is updated to a version that addresses this vulnerability, if available.

Why it matters

The USWDS Paragraph Components module for Drupal has a vulnerability in its twig templates, which do not sufficiently sanitize values passed to its markup. This issue is mitigated by the requirement for an attacker to have a role that allows editing content using the paragraph bundles provided by the module. Defenders should prioritize verifying the version of the module in use and assessing the roles and permissions within their Drupal setup to prevent exploitation.

• Defenders need to verify the version of the USWDS Paragraph Components module in use and ensure that it is updated to a version that addresses this vulnerability, if available.
• Site administrators should assess the roles and permissions within their Drupal setup to prevent exploitation.

Technical summary

The USWDS Paragraph Components module for Drupal provides a suite of Paragraphs bundles that work within the USWDS framework. The module's twig templates do not sufficiently sanitize values passed to its markup, potentially allowing for security issues. However, the vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role to edit content that uses the paragraph bundles provided by the module.
