Drupal Core SQL Injection Vulnerability

Drupal · Core

Summary

The SQL injection flaw lies in the Core component of Drupal, the content management framework's core codebase, and affects releases from 8.9.0 up to (but not including) the fixed versions of 10.4.10, 10.5.10, 10.6.9, 11.1.10, 11.2.12 and 11.3.10. The attack vector is network-based with low complexity, and it requires no privileges and no user interaction, so an unauthenticated remote attacker could potentially read, modify or destroy database data.

Official description · NVD
