Project: Media Folders [1]
Date: 2026-July-22
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 14 ∕ 25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Cross site scripting

Affected versions: <1.0.8
CVE IDs: CVE-2026-16638
Description: 
This module provides a better UI for managing and selecting Media entities in
a folder structure.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the names and descriptions of media
items and folders when they are displayed in the media browser, resulting in
a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with permission to create or edit media items or folders.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

 * If you use the Media Folders module, upgrade to Media Folder 1.0.8 [3]

Reported By: 
 * Drew Webber (mcdruid) [4] of the Drupal Security Team

Fixed By: 
 * João Mauricio (jmauricio) [5]

Coordinated By: 
 * Juraj Nemec (poker10) [6] of the Drupal Security Team
