CVE-2026-96365: Drupal Webform denial of service via unvalidated token parameter

CVE-2026-96365 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-22

The Webform module for Drupal allows site builders to create and manage online forms. When a form is exposed to anonymous visitors, a malicious attacker can send a crafted request with an improperly validated token parameter that forces the server to consume excessive resources, causing the website to become unavailable or slow to respond. This affects sites using specific Webform configurations.
