CVE-2026-4093

Stored XSS in Drupal 7 Term Reference Tree module (token display templates and term labels)

Published May 21, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.1 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Drupal 7 Term Reference Tree module, two stored XSS vectors exist in the widget/formatter rendering pipeline.

Vector A (token display templates): When the Token module is enabled and token display templates are configured, attacker-controlled token output (e.g., term description) is rendered without proper sanitization. Any user who can edit the referenced taxonomy terms can inject HTML/JS that executes when the field is rendered.

Vector B (term label rendering): Taxonomy term labels are not properly sanitized before being rendered in the widget, allowing a user with permission to create or edit taxonomy terms to inject scripts into the term name that execute when a form containing the widget is viewed.

Exploit affects versions 7.x-1.x up to and including 7.x-1.11.
