Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2009-4513 is an old Drupal Workflow module XSS issue. A logged-in user with “administer workflow” privileges could place script or HTML in workflow or workflow-state names. Risk is mainly for legacy Drupal 5 or 6 sites still using vulnerable Workflow module versions. Likely limited to legacy Drupal 5 or Drupal 6 installations using the Workflow module, specifically versions before 5.x-2.4 or before 6.x-1.2. Sites not using this module are not indicated as affected by the provided sources. Treat as a targeted legacy-platform risk, not a current mass-exploitation signal. Prioritize remediation if any internet-facing or business-critical Drupal 5/6 site still uses the vulnerable Workflow module, especially where workflow administration is broadly delegated. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Workflow module to 5.x-2.4, 6.x-1.2, or later applicable release.; Review Drupal roles with “administer workflow” and remove unnecessary access.; Inspect workflow and state names for unexpected HTML or script-like content..
