Drupal has released patches to set of Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities. Some field types do not properly sanitize data from non-form sources. This can lead to arbitrary PHP code execution in some cases.

If your site have a one of these conditions. Your site is vulnerable to this exploit:

• The site has the Drupal 8 core RESTful Web Services (rest) module enabled and allows PATCH or POST requests, or
• the site has another web services module enabled, like JSON:API in Drupal 8, or Services or RESTful Web Services in Drupal 7.

(Note: The Drupal 7 Services module itself does not require an update at this time, but you should still apply other contributed updates associated with this advisory if Services is in use.)

Affected Systems

• Drupal 8.6.x
• Drupal 8.5.x
• Drupal 7.x
