CVE-2026-84912 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-22

The AI Translate submodule for Drupal, which automatically translates website content entities, fails to properly verify user permissions on entities, fields, and related items being translated. This allows users with limited translation rights to translate entities and fields they shouldn't have access to, though the bypass is limited to translation operations only—attackers cannot read or modify the actual content.
