CVE-2026-55804
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedImproperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes vulnerability in Drupal Drupal core allows Object Injection. This issue affects Drupal core versions: from 0.0.0 to 10.5.12, from 10.6.0 to 10.6.11, from 11.2.0 to 11.2.14, from 11.3.0 to 11.3.12, from 0.0.0 to 11.0.*, from 0.0.0 to 11.1.*.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThis is an Object Injection vulnerability in Drupal core caused by improper handling of dynamically-determined object attributes. The vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate object properties through untrusted input, potentially leading to remote code execution depending on available gadget chains in the application.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Determine installed Drupal core versionCheck the version file. For file-based checks: examine CHANGELOG.txt in the Drupal root directory for the version number at the top, or check composer.json for the 'drupal/core' version constraint. For command-line: run 'drush status' or 'composer show drupal/core' to retrieve the installed version.Affected if The installed version is less than 10.5.12, between 10.6.0-10.6.10, between 11.0.0-11.2.13, or between 11.3.0-11.3.11
-
Compare version against affected rangesUsing the version obtained from step 1, determine whether it falls within any of the following vulnerable ranges: < 10.5.12, >= 10.6.0 AND < 10.6.11, >= 11.0.0 AND < 11.2.14, or >= 11.3.0 AND < 11.3.12.Affected if The version falls into any of these ranges, indicating the core vulnerability is present
-
Identify custom modules with unsafe PHP unserializationSearch custom modules and themes in the /modules/custom and /themes/custom directories (or equivalent) for PHP code containing unserialize() calls on user-supplied or untrusted data. Use grep: 'grep -rn "unserialize" /path/to/modules/custom /path/to/themes/custom' and review each match for untrusted input sources such as $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, or database values.Affected if Custom code contains unserialize() calls processing untrusted input, which could enable gadget chain exploitation if the core Object Injection is present
You are affected if your Drupal core version is within any of the vulnerable ranges listed and custom modules contain exploitable unserialize() gadget chains, or if untrusted input can reach dynamic object property manipulation in the core.

dbcve · scoped10.5.1210.6.1111.2.14
Upgrade Drupal core to the latest patched version (10.5.13, 10.6.12, 11.2.15, or 11.3.13 or later). Review custom modules and themes for unsafe unserialize() calls that could be exploited in conjunction with this vulnerability.
Drupal 10.5.12+ / 10.6.11+ / 11.2.14+ / 11.3.12+ depending on your branch
- 1. Identify your current Drupal core version by checking the CHANGELOG.txt file or running `drush status` or `composer show drupal/core`
- 2. Determine which version branch you are on (10.5.x, 10.6.x, 11.0.x/11.1.x, 11.2.x, or 11.3.x)
- 3. For Drupal 10.5.x: Upgrade to 10.5.12 or later
- 4. For Drupal 10.6.x: Upgrade to 10.6.11 or later
- 5. For Drupal 11.0.x or 11.1.x: Upgrade to 11.2.14 or later (these branches are EOL)
- 6. For Drupal 11.2.x: Upgrade to 11.2.14 or later
- 7. For Drupal 11.3.x: Upgrade to 11.3.12 or later
- 8. Run `composer update drupal/core --with-all-dependencies` to apply the upgrade
