CVE-2025-31678
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes a Missing Authorization vulnerability in Drupal AI that allows attackers to access restricted functionality through forceful browsing. It affects all Drupal AI module versions from initial release before 1.0.3. Attackers can exploit this to perform unauthorized actions that should require proper authentication.
💻 Affected Systems
- Drupal AI (Artificial Intelligence) module
📦 What is this software?
Artificial Intelligence by Artificial Intelligence Project
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers gain administrative access to AI functionality, potentially manipulating AI models, accessing sensitive training data, or using AI capabilities for malicious purposes.
Likely Case
Unauthorized users access AI features they shouldn't have permission to use, potentially exposing sensitive data or consuming AI resources without authorization.
If Mitigated
Proper access controls prevent exploitation, limiting impact to authorized users only.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires understanding of Drupal's routing system and access control mechanisms.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
