Project: Real-time SEO for Drupal [1]
Date: 2025-July-16
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 14 ∕ 25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Affected versions: <2.2.0
CVE IDs: CVE-2025-7716
Description: 
This module enables you to analyze the content that you're authoring for a
website. It shows you a preview of what a search result might look like.

The module doesn't sufficiently escape the metadata from content while
rendering the preview, opening up the possibility of a XSS attack.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must be able to
author content that is analyzed by the Real-Time SEO module.
