SA-CONTRIB-2026-235: Critical severity drupal/view_unpublished vulnerability

Published Oct 21, 2026
·
Updated

This module allows granting access to unpublished nodes per content type. For nodes with at least one unpublished translation, the module grants every user with the "access content" permission view access to the published translations of that node. This overrides the restrictions of other node access modules, such as Content Access or Domain Access, that might have been in place for these translations. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the site must be multilingual, a node must have both unpublished and published translations, and another node access module must restrict view access to the published translations.
