Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This is a low-severity cross-site scripting issue in Drupal Responsive Menus 7.x-1.x-dev. A logged-in user could manipulate a configuration setting so script runs in a browser. Business urgency is limited, but exposed Drupal sites using this dev branch should upgrade because XSS can affect content integrity and user trust.

Executive priority

Handle through normal patch management unless the affected module is internet-facing and broadly administered. Prioritize confirmation of usage first, then upgrade affected Drupal sites.

Technical view

CVE-2018-25085 is CWE-79 in responsive_menus_admin_form_submit within responsive_menus.module, affecting the Configuration Setting Handler of Responsive Menus 7.x-1.x-dev. The provided CVSS v2 vector is AV:N/AC:L/Au:M/C:N/I:P/A:N, meaning network reachable, low complexity, authenticated, integrity-only impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure appears limited to Drupal installations using Responsive Menus 7.x-1.x-dev, especially where authenticated users can reach or influence the module configuration flow.

Exploitation context

The bundle says remote attack is possible and authentication is required. It does not cite active exploitation, and KEV is false, so active exploitation should not be assumed.

Researcher notes

The public bundle identifies the vulnerable function, module file, affected branch, CWE, CVSS v2 vector, release fix, and patch commit. It does not provide safe validation details beyond version and patch verification.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade Responsive Menus to 7.x-1.7 or later.
  • Apply the referenced Drupal project patch if upgrading is delayed.
  • Restrict access to Responsive Menus configuration permissions.
  • Review vendor guidance before applying nonstandard workarounds.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Drupal sites for Responsive Menus usage and version.
  • Confirm whether any site runs 7.x-1.x-dev.
  • Verify the 7.x-1.7 release or referenced patch is present.
  • Review configuration access roles for unnecessary permissions.
