Security

The below vulnerabilities are only present in alpha and beta releases with our new AI capabilities which is why this update is not part of the Drupal security team's release cycle.

• CVE-2025-32711 (EchoLeak): Complete mitigation of data exfiltration vulnerability in AI output with simplified URL filtering
• CVE-2025-13981 (CVE-2025-13981): The module didn't sufficiently filter LLM responses. This lead to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability where an attacker can use prompt injections on user-generated content with the LLM as context.

New Features

AI Page Building – Create and Edit Content with Natural Language

• Create New Pages from Scratch with AI: Describe what you want and AI generates complete page layouts section by section or all at once.
• Edit Any Element with AI: Every element now includes an "Edit with AI" option in its dropdown menu—select any element and modify it using natural language instructions (e.g., "edit this section to include Erasmus University and how they use over 100 DXPR Builder users")
• Rewrite Entire Pages with AI: Rewrite entire structured pages with complex sections using a single AI prompt—maintain structure while updating tone, flow, and applying copywriting or SEO best practices across all sections
• Inline Text Editing with AI: Precisely select any text within rich text editors and apply AI transformations inline (e.g., "make this text a bit shorter")—seamless integration with the page builder AI backend
• Translate Content to Any Language: Translate entire pages or specific elements to any language while automatically preserving HTML structure, Bootstrap classes, and semantic markup
• Copy Pages from Competitor Sites: Copy entire web pages from competitor or example sites with "clone https://example.com"—AI screen-scrapes the page, converts it to native DXPR Builder elements (sections, rows, columns, cards) styled by your theme, not a pixel-perfect HTML copy
• Create Long-Form Blog Posts with AI: Create comprehensive blog posts with 1,000+ words, 10+ sections with headings and subheadings—AI performs planning and analysis before writing, delivering structured long-form content that exceeds typical AI limits
• Generate Images from Text Descriptions: Create custom images using OpenAI gpt-image-1 directly from natural language descriptions—perfect for hero images, illustrations, and visual content when stock photos won't do
• AI Automatically Researches Your Topics: AI automatically performs web searches to learn about your organization, competitors, or topics mentioned in prompts—no need to provide context manually, AI finds current information and incorporates it into generated content
• AI Places Content Where It Makes Sense: AI understands page structure and container context—automatically decides optimal placement for new sections (e.g., placing partner success stories before call-to-action sections)
• Control Your Brand Voice: Configure AI tone of voice using Drupal Taxonomy terms—define writing styles like "Professional & Clear" or "Friendly & Casual" without code, displayed permanently in all AI interfaces. Use the DXPR Tone of Voice Generator to create custom tones
• Configure AI Preferences: Dedicated admin interface for AI configuration with real-time usage tracking, model selection, and tone management—settings accessible from gear icon in contextual AI interfaces
• Choose Your AI Provider: Choose from multiple AI providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Mistral, XAI) with automatic failover for maximum reliability
• Get Help with Better Prompts: "Enhance prompt" button automatically improves instructions; rotating placeholder texts demonstrate capabilities with example prompts for each interface

Editor and UI Improvements

• Integrated Bootstrap Icons library with 2,078 modern icons—DXPR Builder now includes 4,400+ total icons, all available in the icon picker
• Added comprehensive Bootstrap 5.3 utility classes for advanced styling capabilities
• Pre-population of "alt" and "title" metadata for images from Media entities, including Acquia DAM integration
• Icon picker now displays selected icon name for better usability
• Saved templates interface includes image upload and thumbnail display with filtering options
• Added keyboard shortcuts panel accessible from container controls dropdown
• Element controls load on-demand for improved editor performance
• Inline editing supported for progress bars, alert elements, text blocks, and blockquotes
• Video player upgraded with Plyr library
• Set minimum height of 40px to all elements during editing to ensure controls are easy to reach

If your custom theme styles hr tags with background color, please change it this to use border-top instead as we are adding a minimum height to 40px to all element while the editor is enabled to ensure the controls are always easy to reach. For example:

hr {
height: 4px;
background: blue;
}


Should become

hr {
border: 4px 0 0 0 solid blue;
}


This note is only relevant if you have custom CSS code in your theme styling the HR tags with a background color.

AI Features - Frequently Asked Questions

How much AI usage is included?

All DXPR Builder sites include 10,000 words + 10 images per month free. This applies to all AI features: page creation, content editing, translation, blog post generation, and image generation (using OpenAI gpt-image-1).

Do AI features affect my subscription cost?

No. AI features are completely separate from DXPR Builder subscription pricing. Your subscription tier is determined by the number of drag-and-drop pages you create, not by AI usage.

Can I purchase additional AI output?

Not yet. During the beta phase, the 10,000 words + 10 images per month free allowance is the only option available. We're gathering feedback to design a fair pricing model for additional usage.

What happens if I exceed the free allowance?

AI features will be temporarily unavailable until the next monthly reset. We're working on usage notifications to help you track your consumption.
