CVE-2025-31690
Published: 31 March 2025
Description
An adversary may rely upon a user clicking a malicious link in order to gain execution.
Security Summary
CVE-2025-31690 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, mapped to CWE-352, in the Drupal Cache Utility module. This issue affects all versions of Cache Utility from 0.0.0 up to but not including 1.2.1. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting its high severity due to network accessibility, low complexity, lack of prerequisite privileges, and potential for significant impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely by crafting malicious web pages or links that, when visited by an authenticated Drupal user, trigger forged requests to the Cache Utility module. No special privileges are required on the attacker's part, though user interaction is necessary to lure victims to the malicious content. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to perform unauthorized cache-related operations on behalf of the victim, potentially compromising sensitive data, modifying site behavior, or disrupting service availability.
The Drupal security advisory at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2025-019 details the vulnerability and recommends updating the Cache Utility module to version 1.2.1 or later as the primary mitigation. Administrators should verify installations and apply the patch promptly to prevent exploitation.
