For developers: what the fix changed

The fix introduces a Drupal.cookies.isSafeUrl function in js/cookies.lib.js to ensure URLs use safe protocols. It also updates several JavaScript files, such as modules/cookies_video/js/cookies_media.js, to read raw attribute values and validate them using this new function before assigning them to an iframe.

Get in touch

Tell me who you are, what your organisation does, and what you need. That might be a Drupal site that needs looking after, an upgrade to get done before December, or an agency that needs Drupal cover.

If I can help, I'll say so and suggest a call. If I can't, I'll tell you straight away rather than waste your time.

For context: I work mainly with UK membership bodies, charities and research organisations, and with the agencies that look after their websites. Not recruiters.

Or start smaller and connect with me on LinkedIn. That's where I post what I find digging around in charity and grants data, and where the free tools turn up first.
