Drupal core - Highly critical - SQL injection - SA-CORE-2026-004

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 74/100)

  • CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (May 22, 2026). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: May 27, 2026.
  • A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit, Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 15.7% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 96.8% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: Drupal Drupal core 10.4.10, 10.5.10, 10.6.9.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to Drupal Drupal core 10.4.10, 10.5.10, 10.6.9 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · CISA KEV · FIRST EPSS

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Drupal Drupal core allows SQL Injection. This issue affects Drupal core: from 8.9.0 before 10.4.10, from 10.5.0 before 10.5.10, from 10.6.0 before 10.6.9, from 11.0.0 before 11.1.10, from 11.2.0 before 11.2.12, from 11.3.0 before 11.3.10.

Actively exploited in the wild

CISA added this to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on May 22, 2026. That signals real attacks, not theory.

Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: May 27, 2026.
