🚨 URGENT: Highly Critical Drupal Core SQL Injection (CVE-2026-9082) Affecting PostgreSQL — Patch Immediately! The Drupal Security Team has released a "Highly Critical" security advisory ( SA-CORE-2026-004 / CVE-2026-9082 ) fixing a severe unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in Drupal Core. If you are running a Drupal site backed by a PostgreSQL database, you are at extreme risk. 📌 Vulnerability Overview CVE ID: CVE-2026-9082 Drupal Risk Score: 23/25 (Highly Critical) Attack Vector: Remote, Unauthenticated (Anonymous) HTTP requests Exploitation Status: ACTIVE IN-THE-WILD ATTACKS reported globally. CISA has officially added this flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Over 15,000 attack probes across thousands of sites have already been detected. Root Cause: A flaw in Drupal Core's database abstraction API—specifically within the PostgreSQL EntityQuery condition handler. Attacker-controlled PHP array keys reach SQL placeholder construction without proper sanitization, allowing arbitrary SQL execution. 💥 High Impact & Risks While Drupal estimates that less than 5% of installations use PostgreSQL, this configuration is heavily concentrated in enterprise, government, and higher-education environments. Successful exploitation grants: Full Database Access: Exfiltration of session tokens, sensitive data, and password hashes. Privilege Escalation: Promotion of standard or anonymous sessions to Administrator. Remote Code Execution (RCE): In PostgreSQL environments where database permissions are misconfigured (e.g., allowing COPY FROM PROGRAM ), attackers can pivot from SQL injection to executing arbitrary shell commands on the host server. 🔍 Affected Versions The flaw impacts all supported Drupal Core branches configured with PostgreSQL, including some legacy branches: Drupal Core 8.9.0 through 10.4.9 Drupal Core 10.5.x before 10.5.10 Drupal Core 10.6.x before 10.6.9 Drupal Core 11.1.x before 11.1.10 Drupal Core 11.2.x before 11.2.12 Drupal Core 11.
