CVE-2026-118551: Drupal AI module information disclosure in speech-to-text audio

CVE-2026-118551 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-30

Drupal's AI integration module writes audio files from speech-to-text requests to the temporary directory without deleting them, allowing attackers with read access to that directory to retrieve transcription audio from other users. This creates a data exposure risk for sensitive audio content, though exploitation requires the attacker to already have server or directory access through shared hosting or other exposed file mechanisms.

How to fix

Packagist:Https://Packages.Drupal.Org/8 Drupal/Ai: upgrade to 1.4.11 or later

Delete any leftover speech_to_text.mp3 files from the site's temporary directory to remove already-exposed audio.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an information disclosure flaw where the AI module persists audio files in a shared temporary directory without cleanup. An attacker with local or adjacent access to the temporary directory (via shared hosting, exposed file endpoints, or privilege escalation) can recover speech-to-text audio intended for other users. The fix moves audio handling to memory-only, eliminating filesystem persistence.

Affected products

Drupal AI all versions before 1.4.11; 1.5.0 before 1.5.2
