CVE-2026-96368 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-22

The Webform module for Drupal allows site builders to create online forms and collect submissions. Insufficient sanitization of tooltips and help text can allow malicious code injection, potentially compromising users who interact with these forms. Exploitation requires the attacker to have permissions to create or edit Webform configuration, limiting risk to insider threats or compromised administrative accounts.
