Drupal Canvas - Moderately critical - Server-side request forgery, Information disclosure - SA-CONTRIB-2026-017
Project: Drupal CanvasDate: 2026-February-25Security risk: Moderately critical 11 ∕ 25 AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:AllVulnerability: Server-side request forgery, Information disclosureAffected versions: <1.1.1CVE IDs: CVE-2026-3216Description: This module enables you to easily theme and build an entire website using only their browser, without the need to write code beyond basic JSX and CSS. Content creators are able to compose content on any part of the page without relying on developers.
The project has a hidden sub-module, Drupal Canvas AI, which is disabled by default. It is typically enabled as a dependency by Drupal Recipes or enabled directly via deployment scripts (e.g., Drush). When the submodule is enabled, the following vulnerability is exposed.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data via crafted API requests within the messages JSON payload.
It is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "use Drupal Canvas AI".
How the Canvas AI sub-module gets enabled: As a hidden submodule, canvas_ai is not intended for manual activation via the UI. It is designed to be pulled in as a dependency by Drupal Recipes or enabled directly via deployment scripts (e.g., Drush).Solution: Install the latest version:
- If you use the Drupal Canvas module, upgrade to Drupal Canvas 1.1.1 .
Sites witthout the hidden submodule enabled are not vulnerable. The module is hidden from the UI module list, but admins can verify its status via the command line: drush config:get core.extension | grep canvas_aiReported By:
