## What is DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2020-014?

DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2020-014 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability in drupal/webform, published on 6 May 2020. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

This module enables you to build forms and surveys in Drupal.

The module doesn't sufficiently filter user input under in the scenario when a webform is edited, namely the message related to character min/max counter does not undergo sufficient filtering and thus allows execution of JavaScript code through it.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "Edit own webform" (or "Edit any webform").

Check this codebase for DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2020-014 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2020-014 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability in drupal/webform, published on 6 May 2020. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2020-014 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: drupal/webform. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
