Overview
CVE-2025-13082 describes a User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information vulnerability affecting Drupal core. This vulnerability allows for content spoofing, potentially leading to user deception and other security risks. It’s important for Drupal site administrators to understand this vulnerability and apply the necessary patches.
Technical Details
The vulnerability stems from how Drupal core handles the presentation of certain content elements within the user interface.
