Date:

Security risk: 
Moderately critical 13 ∕ 25 AC:Basic/A:None/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
Vulnerability: 
Denial of Service
Affected versions: 
>= 8.0.0 < 10.4.9 || >= 10.5.0 < 10.5.6 || >= 11.0.0 < 11.1.9 || >= 11.2.0 < 11.2.8
CVE IDs: 
CVE-2025-13080
Description: 

Drupal Core has a rarely used feature, provided by an underlying library, which allows certain attributes of incoming HTTP requests to be overridden.

This functionality can be abused in a way that may cause Drupal to cache response data that it should not. This can lead to legitimate requests receiving inappropriate cached responses (cache poisoning).

This could be exploited in various ways:

  • Broken rendering of some pages
  • Unstyled or malformatted pages
  • Adverse impacts on client-side functionality

Changes are being made in the underlying library which will mitigate this problem, but in the meantime Drupal core has been hardened to protect against this vulnerability.

Solution: 

Install the latest version:

Drupal 11.0.x, Drupal 10.3.x, and below are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage. (Drupal 8 and Drupal 9 have both reached end-of-life.)
