ug. that took longer than I wanted and was not a nice ai experience. I'm gonna try and improve the prompt for the next review.

anyway, sorry for the noise, and these new mappings seem reasonable and consistent. rtbc.

  2. "I copied the page source into a temp scratch issue file." - Processed HTML page source to extract exact comment content and verify all referenced data
  3. "does your plan use advice from the future prompt?" - Ensured verification approach followed the systematic methodology from extracted future prompt template
  4. "follow each link in the content I will post, use curl or something, and check the link works and has the content it is a reference for..." - Systematic verification using curl commands to validate all URLs and content accuracy
  5. "you said you checked a 'few' and 'some' make sure you checked them all." - Comprehensive verification of all 38 links in the analysis (12 security advisories, 13 CVE links, 8 CWE/CAPEC definitions, 5 reference links)
  6. "can we find a different example that is better and avoids the minor issue? maybe it is indicating that the new SA saying brute force in the MR is incorrect..." - Investigated classification patterns and discovered systematic brute force → "Access bypass" classification approach
  7. "please make sure the 3 temp scratch files are saved and have the correct content..." - Prepared D.o-ready content with proper HTML formatting
  8. "now, update them again. I want to conclude this is mergable, since it is consistent with the past, and ask greggles what he thinks..." - Researched CWE root cause mapping guidance and repositioned analysis as mergeable with follow-up discussion suggestion
  9. "While posting I notice some ids are not links, like CWE-79/CAPEC-63 please check the temp_scratch_analysis.md and make sure there are anchor links so that the claims can be easily verified by a human reading the comment." - Added anchor links to all CWE/CAPEC references in section headers and historical patterns for easy verification by reviewers
  10. "update the future prompt to accomidate for this next time, and also update the ai summary prompt list to be accurate and contain this prompt too." - Updated future prompt template with anchor link requirements and corrected AI summary prompt count

Key Technical Decisions Made:

  • Verification Strategy: Used curl commands to systematically verify all 38 URLs and extract actual content from security advisories
  • Classification Investigation: Discovered Drupal's systematic approach of classifying brute force vulnerabilities as "Access bypass" while mapping to CWE-307
  • Root Cause Analysis: Referenced CWE mapping guidance that emphasizes identifying underlying weaknesses rather than attack outcomes
  • Final Assessment: Concluded MR maintains historical consistency and is technically sound, with suggestion for follow-up documentation discussion
  • Balanced Approach: Provided constructive feedback while recognizing established patterns have technical merit

Technical Implementation Details:

  • Link Verification: 38 total links tested - 24 fully accessible (100% success for SA/CWE/CAPEC), 14 blocked by NVD protection (expected)
  • Content Verification: Extracted actual advisory descriptions, vulnerability types, and CVE numbers to confirm accuracy
  • Pattern Recognition: Identified systematic classification approach consistent across multiple historical examples
  • CWE Research: Found root cause mapping guidance supporting technical accuracy of current approach

Evolution of Analysis: Started as basic verification, evolved into comprehensive classification investigation, concluded with mergeable recommendation plus constructive suggestion for process documentation improvement.

Here is a prompt I asked AI to make. I want to save for next time I try this.

Analyze the CWE/CAPEC mappings in this Drupal security advisory merge request and provide a comprehensive review.

**Context:**
- Merge Request: [INSERT MR URL]
- Security Advisories: [INSERT SA RANGE, e.g., SA-CONTRIB-2025-XXX through SA-CONTRIB-2025-YYY]

**Analysis Requirements:**

1. **Evaluate New Mappings**: For each new advisory being added to the mapping file:
- Extract the CWE/CAPEC assignments
- Assess technical accuracy against vulnerability descriptions
- Compare against industry standards (MITRE CWE/CAPEC definitions)

2. **Historical Consistency Check**:
- Compare mappings against similar historical Drupal security advisories
- Use the official advisory-to-cvejson.php file: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/securitydrupalorg/-/blob/7.x-1.x/scri...
- Find precedents for each vulnerability type (XSS, access bypass, information disclosure, SSRF, brute force, etc.)

3. **Evidence Requirements**:
- Cite specific historical SA examples with same CWE/CAPEC mappings
- Include links to both Drupal security advisories and their corresponding CVE entries
- Reference MITRE CWE/CAPEC definitions to validate technical accuracy

4. **Output Format**:
- Provide analysis as HTML suitable for posting as a review comment
- Include anchor links to:
- Security advisories: https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-YYYY-XXX
- CVE entries: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-YYYY-XXXXX
- CWE definitions: https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/XXX.html
- CAPEC definitions: https://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/XXX.html

5. **Assessment Criteria**:
- ✅ Technical accuracy (does CWE precisely describe the vulnerability?)
- ✅ Historical consistency (matches established Drupal patterns?)
- ✅ Industry standards (aligns with MITRE classifications?)
- ✅ NVD validation (consistent with National Vulnerability Database?)

6. **Final Deliverable**:
- Clear recommendation (approve/request changes)
- Supporting evidence table with historical precedents
- Include AI interaction summary following cursor rules for transparency

**Key Resources:**
- Current mapping file: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/securitydrupalorg/-/blob/7.x-1.x/scri...
- Security advisories: https://www.drupal.org/security
- National Vulnerability Database: https://nvd.nist.gov/
- MITRE CWE: https://cwe.mitre.org/
- MITRE CAPEC: https://capec.mitre.org/

Focus on providing actionable, evidence-backed analysis that helps the Drupal Security Team maintain consistent and accurate vulnerability classifications.

Security Advisory CWE/CAPEC Mapping Analysis

I've [AI] reviewed the new CWE/CAPEC mappings being added in this merge request for advisories SA-CONTRIB-2025-098 through SA-CONTRIB-2025-101. Here's my analysis:

✅ Overall Assessment: All Mappings Are Appropriate

The new mappings being added are technically accurate, consistent with historical Drupal patterns, and follow industry standards.

📋 Specific Mapping Analysis

🔍 Supporting Evidence from Official Drupal Repository

I analyzed the current advisory-to-cvejson.php file in the Drupal security repository and found these mappings are consistent with established patterns:

Historical Precedent Evidence:

✅ Specific Validation Points

1. SA-CONTRIB-2025-101 - Perfect Match

The advisory specifically states: "The module doesn't limit the number of password attempts, making it vulnerable to brute force attacks." This is exactly what CWE-307 (Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts) addresses.

2. SA-CONTRIB-2025-099 - Precise Classification

Information disclosure through "doesn't sufficiently check access to entities" is more accurately described by CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information) than generic authorization CWEs.

3. Industry Standard Alignment

All mappings align with MITRE CWE and CAPEC standard classifications used across the security industry.

🎯 Conclusion

Recommendation: Approve the merge request.

The new CWE/CAPEC mappings demonstrate:

  • Technical Accuracy - Each CWE precisely describes the vulnerability type
  • Historical Consistency - Mappings follow established Drupal security advisory patterns
  • Industry Standards - Align with MITRE CWE/CAPEC best practices
  • Community Validation - Consistent with the official Drupal security team's classification approach

These mappings will enhance vulnerability understanding and facilitate proper security mitigation strategies for the Drupal community.

Analysis of CWE and CAPEC Assignments for New Advisories

I used CursorAI in privacy mode to help me analyze the CWE and CAPEC assignments for the new advisories (SA-2025-070 through SA-2025-076) by comparing them with similar advisories in the codebase. Here's the analysis:

  1. SA-2025-070 (Missing Authorization):
  2. SA-2025-071 (XSS):
    • Assigned CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input) with CAPEC-63 (Cross-Site Scripting)
    • Most common vulnerability type in the codebase
    • Matches 40+ other advisories using the same combination
  3. SA-2025-072 (XSS):
    • Same as SA-2025-071
    • Part of the same pattern of XSS vulnerabilities
  4. SA-2025-073 (XSS):
    • Same as SA-2025-071
    • Part of the same pattern of XSS vulnerabilities
  5. SA-2025-074 (XSS):
    • Same as SA-2025-071
    • Part of the same pattern of XSS vulnerabilities
  6. SA-2025-075 (XSS):
    • Same as SA-2025-071
    • Part of the same pattern of XSS vulnerabilities
  7. SA-2025-076 (XSS):
    • Same as SA-2025-071
    • Part of the same pattern of XSS vulnerabilities

Analysis Process

  1. CursorAI first checked each advisory's description to understand the vulnerability type
  2. Compared with similar advisories in the codebase
  3. Verified the CWE/CAPEC combinations were consistent with the established patterns
  4. Found that all assignments follow the same classification scheme used throughout the codebase

How CursorAI Read the SAs

To read the SAs, CursorAI used curl to fetch the content from drupal.org. Here's an example command for one of the SAs:

curl -s "https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2025-070" | grep -A 20 "Vulnerability"

This command:

  • Uses curl to fetch the SA page content
  • Pipes it through grep to find the vulnerability description section
  • Shows 20 lines after the match to get the full context

For each SA, CursorAI:

  1. Read the vulnerability description to understand the type of issue
  2. Looked for key terms like "XSS", "authorization", "access control" etc.
  3. Compared the description with similar SAs in the codebase
  4. Verified the CWE/CAPEC assignments matched the vulnerability type

For example, for SA-2025-070 , the description indicated a missing authorization check, which aligns with the assigned CWE-862 and CAPEC-87. This pattern is consistent with other similar advisories in the codebase.

For the XSS advisories (SA-2025-071 through SA-2025-076), the descriptions all indicated improper input neutralization leading to cross-site scripting, which matches the assigned CWE-79 and CAPEC-63 combination.

This methodical approach helps ensure consistency in CWE/CAPEC assignments across all advisories.

The assignments are appropriate and consistent with the existing patterns in the codebase. No changes are needed.

Question: if sites followed https://architecture.lullabot.com/adr/20230929-drupal-build-steps/

where the example build steps begin with

vendor/bin/drush cache:rebuild --yes
vendor/bin/drush updatedb --yes

would that have prevented sites from being impacted by this issue?

🇺🇸United States yesct

I attended the slack meeting and registered. :)

🇺🇸United States yesct

The maintainer might have an opinion?

But if they are user facing I think those fixes could be included in the scope.

🇺🇸United States yesct

1 . https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2025-001 - CWE-1390: Weak Authentication and CAPEC-114: Authentication Abuse.

why not CAPEC-112: Brute Force ? Just curious.

2 . N/A

3 . :check: seems straight forward.

4 . https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2025-004 - CWE-862: Missing Authorization and CAPEC-87: Forceful Browsing. ChildOf Meta Attack Pattern 115 Authentication Bypass :check: seems fine to me.

[Didn't check the others. I might, but don't wait on me.]

🇺🇸United States yesct

Opps. This isn't a child issue, just related, as a follow-up.

🇺🇸United States yesct

opps. this wasn't supposed to be a child issue. It was supposed to be a followup. So I moved the issue number from parent to related.

Also. I think this is a duplicate of Support adding additional routes for view modes other than 'full' Active

🇺🇸United States yesct

@catch I stubbed follow-up issues for what you mentioned in comment #13.

Expand support for disabling a route to all entities Active
Replace media's standalone_url: false setting with support for disabling a route Active

Those issues need more specific details, which I don't know, but at least the issues exist. Anyone who knows more, please edit those issues.

🇺🇸United States yesct

I fixed some typos in the issue summary.

I added keywords like settings and link.

I also expanded the scope, by suggesting we link to the module config page.

Do folks think linking should be a separate issue?? Maybe it's not dependent on module maintaining writing text. And so linking might get implemented faster?

🇺🇸United States yesct

I (also) think it would be better to have minimum-stability 'stable' and individually set any projects to lower stability if necessary - this can then be removed as soon as they have stable releases.

Most new site builders don't know how to evaluate a particular beta for use.

Maybe the UI of project browser can try and educate users about the risks of using betas?? But that's still an _individual_ decision. I think the CMS _default_ minimum for all projects should be stable.

I also think project maintainers should make stables more often than they do. If they need to make BC changes to fix bugs, they can make a new major version.
