## What is DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2022-027?

DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2022-027 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability in drupal/govuk_theme, published on 23 Feb 2022. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

The GOV.UK Theme (`govuk_theme`) is a Drupal theme for the GOV.UK Design System.

The theme doesn't sanitize user input in certain cases, which leads to Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. An attacker that can create or edit certain entities or configuration may be able to exploit one or more Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities to target visitors of the site, including site admins with privileged access.

The vulnerability is mitigated by the facts, that:

* An attacker must have one of several permissions, of which at least some are commonly only assigned to either editors, site builders or administrators.
* For some of the vulnerabilities, certain contributed modules must be enabled.

What it is: DRUPAL-CONTRIB-2022-027 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability in drupal/govuk_theme, published on 23 Feb 2022. 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-2022-027 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: drupal/govuk_theme. 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.
