Drupal Core Cross-site scripting vulnerability

CVE-2020-13688GHSA-qf2g-mrrx-rr5p

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (drupal/core 9.0.6, 8.9.6, 8.8.10), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2020-13688

Advisory: Drupal Core Cross-site scripting vulnerability
IDs: CVE-2020-13688, GHSA-qf2g-mrrx-rr5p
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2020-13688 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:19 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: drupal/core 9.0.6, 8.9.6, 8.8.10. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist drupal/core: affected >= 8.8.0, < 8.8.10; >= 8.9.0, < 8.9.6; >= 9.0.0, < 9.0.6; fixed in 9.0.6, 8.9.6, 8.8.10

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist drupal/core: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on drupal/core.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-qf2g-mrrx-rr5p (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-qf2g-mrrx-rr5p lists affected ranges: Packagist drupal/core >=8.8.0 =8.9.0 =9.0.0 <9.0.6)
