Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-178: Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity, where the product does not properly account for differences in case sensitivity when accessing or determining the properties of a resource, leading to inconsistent results. In Drupal/core recommended, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Drupal's uniqueness checking for certain user fields is inconsistent depending on the database engine and its collation. As a result, a user may be able to register with the same email address as another user. This may lead to data integrity issues. This issue affects Drupal Core: from 8.0.0 before 10.2.11, from 10.3.0 before 10.3.9, from 11.0.0 before 11.0.8.
