Drupal core - SA-CORE-2020-005

  • Disclosed: 17.06.2020
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 13:17

Drupal 8 and 9 have a remote code execution vulnerability under certain circumstances.

An attacker could trick an administrator into visiting a malicious site that could result in creating a carefully named directory on the file system. With this directory in place, an attacker could attempt to brute force a remote code execution vulnerability.

Windows servers are most likely to be affected.
