Project: Drupal core Date: 2024-November-20 Security risk: Moderately critical 14 ∕ 25 AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:All/II:All/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon Vulnerability: Gadget chain Affected versions: >=7.0 < 7.102 || >= 8.0.0 < 10.2.11 || >= 10.3.0 < 10.3.9 CVE IDs: CVE-2024-55638 Description: Drupal core contains a potential PHP Object Injection vulnerability that (if combined with another exploit) could lead to Remote Code Execution. It is not directly exploitable. This issue is mitigated by the fact that in order for it to be exploitable, a separate vulnerability must be present to allow an attacker to pass unsafe input to unserialize() . There are no such known exploits in Drupal core. To help protect against this potential vulnerability, some additional checks have been added to Drupal core's database code. If you use a third-party database driver, check the release notes for additional configuration steps that may be required in certain cases. Solution: Install the latest version: If you are using Drupal 7, update to Drupal 7.102 . If you are using Drupal 10.2, update to Drupal 10.2.11 . If you are using Drupal 10.3, update to Drupal 10.3.9 . All versions of Drupal 10 prior to 10.2 are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage. ( Drupal 8 and Drupal 9 have both reached end-of-life.)
