Project: Obfuscate [1]
Date: 2025-April-02
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: <2.0.1
CVE IDs: CVE-2025-3130
Description: 
This module enables you to obfuscate email addresses, to avoid them being
easily available to spammers.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitise input when ROT13 encoding is used.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the ability to enter specific HTML tag attributes. In a default Drupal
installation this would require the administrator role and use of the Full
HTML text format. It also requires that the ROT13 encoding be enabled in
Obfuscate settings.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

  * Upgrade to Obfuscate 2.0.1 [3]
