CVE-2026-126727 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-11

The Texts module for Drupal manages key-based strings and translations used throughout websites. An attacker with permissions to create or edit string translations can inject malicious JavaScript that executes when those translations are displayed on pages, allowing session hijacking or content manipulation. The risk is limited because the attacker must already have specific translation editing permissions on the site.

Vendors: Drupal, Packagist:Https://Packages.Drupal.Org/8.

How to fix

Packagist:Https://Packages.Drupal.Org/8 Drupal/Texts: upgrade to 1.0.17 or later

Go to Configuration » Regional and language » Texts Settings, enable "Require edit string translation permission to create new texts entities," and restrict the "Create string translation" and "Edit string translation" permissions to trusted roles only. Review existing texts at /admin/content/texts for unexpected HTML and remove it. These steps reduce risk but do not fully fix the vulnerability; upgrade as soon as possible.

Technical details

The module fails to adequately sanitize HTML in stored translation strings before rendering them via Twig filters, enabling stored XSS. An authenticated attacker with "Create string translation" or "Edit string translation" permissions can inject JavaScript into translations that will execute in visitors' browsers when the module's Twig filters render them. The vulnerability requires both elevated permissions and use of the affected Twig filters.
