There will be a Drupal core security release for all supported branches on May 20, 2026, between 17:00 and 21:00 UTC. (To see this in your local timezone, refer to the Drupal Core Calendar.) The Drupal Security Team urges you to reserve time for core updates at that time because exploits might be developed within hours or days.

The risk is currently rated as:
Highly critical 20 ∕ 25 AC:None/A:None/CI:All/II:All/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon.

Not all configurations are affected. Reserve time on May 20 during the release window to determine whether your sites are affected and in need of an immediate update. Mitigation information will be included in the advisory.

We recommend updating to the latest supported patch (bugfix) release for your site's version of Drupal before May 20, so that you can address any other upgrade issues before the security window. (Recommendations for specific Drupal versions follow.)

This issue is being protected by Drupal Steward. Sites that use Drupal Steward are already protected from known attack vectors, but should upgrade in the near future in case additional attack vectors are discovered.

Affected versions

Supported core versions

Security releases will be provided for all the currently supported branches of Drupal core, which are:

• 11.3.x
• 11.2.x
• 10.6.x
• 10.5.x

Sites on one of these supported versions should update to the latest patch release for the given branch now in preparation for the security window.

End-of-life minor core versions (Drupal 10 and 11)

While the Drupal Security Team does not normally provide security releases for unsupported releases, given the severity of the issue, we are providing 11.1.x and 10.4.x releases that include the fix for sites which have not yet had a chance to update. Therefore, in advance of the window:

• Sites on Drupal 11.1 or 11.0 should update to at least Drupal 11.1.9.
• Sites on Drupal 10.4, 10.3, 10.2, 10.1, or 10.0 should update to at least Drupal 10.4.9.

These sites should apply the security update as soon as it is released on May 20, then plan to update to Drupal 11.3 or 10.6 in the near future. (Two other recent security advisories, SA-CORE-2026-001 and SA-CORE-2026-002, will not be addressed for 11.1 or 10.4.)

End-of-life major core versions (Drupal 8 and 9)

These major versions are fully end-of-life, so no releases will be created for these branches. However, given the potential severity of this issue, we will provide patch files for Drupal 8.9 and 9.5.

These patches must be applied manually. They are not guaranteed to work correctly, and might introduce other bugs or regressions. However, they may help mitigate the vulnerability for sites still on these old major versions until they upgrade to a supported release.

For the best chance of the patches being applied successfully:

• Sites on any version of Drupal 9 should update to Drupal 9.5.11.
• Sites on any version of Drupal 8 should update to Drupal 8.9.20\.

We strongly recommend Drupal 8 or 9 sites update to at least Drupal 10.6 soon. Drupal 8 and 9 include numerous other, previously disclosed security vulnerabilities that will not be addressed by either Drupal Steward or the best-effort patch files.

Drupal 7 is not affected.
