CVE-2026-1554Network attack vector

Privilege escalation via unsanitized CAS response attributes

Published Feb 4, 2026 · Updated Feb 4, 2026

XML element injection in Drupal CAS Server before 2.0.3 and 2.1.0 through 2.1.1 allows remote authenticated users to escalate privileges. The module places insufficiently sanitized user-controlled entity-field values into CAS response attributes, allowing injected XML elements to alter the response structure. Reachability requires an authenticated account permitted to enter XML in a user field that an administrator has configured as a CAS Attribute source.
