• CVE-2018-7600: 99.99% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 99.98 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Drupal before 7.58, 8.x before 8.3.9, 8.4.x before 8.4.6, and 8.5.x before 8.5.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code because of an issue affecting multiple subsystems with default or common module configurations.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2018-7600

Advisory: Drupal Core Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
IDs: CVE-2018-7600, GHSA-7fh9-933g-885p
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2018-7600 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:34 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.8)
Exploitation: confirmed: listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: drupal/core 8.5.1, 8.4.6, 8.3.9, 7.58; drupal/drupal 8.5.1, 8.4.6, 8.3.9, 7.58. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist drupal/core: affected >= 7.0, < 7.58; >= 8.0, < 8.3.9; >= 8.4.0, < 8.4.6; >= 8.5.0, < 8.5.1; fixed in 8.3.9, 8.5.1, 8.4.6, 7.58
- Packagist drupal/drupal: affected >= 7.0, < 7.58; >= 8.0, < 8.3.9; >= 8.4, < 8.4.6; >= 8.5, < 8.5.1; fixed in 8.3.9, 8.5.1, 8.4.6, 7.58

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist drupal/core: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Packagist drupal/drupal: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on drupal/core, drupal/drupal.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
