SA-CONTRIB-2026-110: Critical severity drupal/disable_login vulnerability

Published Aug 26, 2026
·
Updated

This module enables you to disable access to the /user/login form unless a secret key is provided. The module does not sufficiently restrict repeated attempts to guess that key, allowing brute-force attacks against the access-control mechanism.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What does an attacker need to exploit this issue?

An attacker needs the ability to make repeated requests that guess the secret key required to access the /user/login form. The weakness is that those guesses are not sufficiently restricted.

2

Are sites using this module exposed by default?

The affected access-control mechanism is the module's secret-key protection for /user/login. A site is exposed if it relies on that mechanism and does not otherwise sufficiently limit repeated secret-key guesses.

3

What can be done while a fix is not available?

Apply independent controls that restrict repeated attempts to reach or guess the secret key for /user/login, such as rate limiting or other request-throttling protections. The goal is to prevent brute-force guessing of the key.
