Project: Webform [1]
Project machine name: webform
Date: 2026-September-23
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 12 ∕ 25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2]
Vulnerability: Cross-site scripting

Affected versions: <6.2.12 || >=6.3.0 <6.3.1
CVE IDs: CVE-2026-96368
Description: 
The Webform module allows site builders to create forms, collect submissions,
and configure access to forms and submission data. Site builders may add
tooltips and help text to these forms.

Some Webform tooltips and help text were not sufficiently sanitized,
resulting in possible cross-site scripting (XSS).

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have
permission to create or edit affected Webform configuration or content.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

 * If you use the 6.2.x branch of Webform upgrade to Webform 6.2.12 [3].
 * If you use the 6.3.x branch of Webform, upgrade to Webform 6.3.1 [4].
