Project: Taxonomy Term Glossary [1]
Date: 2026-September-09
Security risk: *Critical* 15 ∕ 25
AC:None/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Access bypass

Affected versions: <4.6.0
CVE IDs: CVE-2026-87954
Description: 
This module adds automatic highlighting of taxonomy terms in content.

The module doesn't sufficiently check access on taxonomy terms. As a result,
anonymous users can view any of the site's taxonomy terms at the module's
JSON endpoint, including taxonomy terms that are unpublished or otherwise
restricted.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

 * If you use the Taxonomy Term Glossary module, upgrade to term_glossary
   4.6.0 [3].

The 4.4.x and 4.5.x branches are no longer supported.
