CVE-2026-6366
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: from 8.0.0 before 10.5.9, from 10.6.0 before 10.6.7, from 11.0.0 before 11.2.11, from 11.3.0 before 11.3.7.
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 a PHP object injection vulnerability in Drupal core caused by improper validation of dynamically-determined object attributes. Attackers can exploit this by injecting malicious serialized objects, potentially achieving remote code execution through PHP's object instantiation mechanism.

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 versionRun 'drush status' or check the 'VERSION' constant in core/lib/Drupal.php, or view the CHANGELOG.txt file in the Drupal root directoryAffected if The installed version falls within < 10.5.9, >= 10.6.0 and < 10.6.7, >= 11.0.0 and < 11.2.11, or >= 11.3.0 and < 11.3.7
-
Identify custom or contributed modules using PHP unserialize()Search the codebase for 'unserialize(' calls using: grep -r "unserialize(" --include="*.php" /path/to/web/modules/custom /path/to/web/modules/contribAffected if Any module uses unserialize() with data derived from user request parameters, form input, or external API responses
-
Check for dynamic attribute modification patternsSearch for code using __set, __get magic methods, or dynamic property assignment such as $object->$key = $value where $key originates from user inputAffected if Code allows user-controlled keys to modify object properties that could reach deserialization functions
-
Review Symfony component versions if using custom serializationCheck composer.lock for symfony/var-dumper and symfony/yaml versions used by Drupal, and examine any custom code invoking unserialize() or yaml_parse()Affected if Custom code passes serialized data to unserialize() without using a signed serializer or the Drupal-safe serializer
-
Audit PHP runtime configuration for deserializationReview php.ini settings: unserialize_callback_func should be set, and allow_url_include should be disabled. Check if any debug or development modules expose serialized data in URLsAffected if PHP is configured loosely around deserialization or debug endpoints leak serialized object data
Your environment is affected if you run any Drupal version below 10.5.9, 10.6.7, 11.2.11, or 11.3.7 AND your codebase or installed modules accept serialized data from untrusted sources.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

dbcve · scoped10.5.910.6.711.2.11
Upgrade Drupal core to the patched versions (10.5.9, 10.6.7, 11.2.11, or 11.3.7) and audit custom/contrib modules for insecure unserialize() calls handling user input.
10.5.9, 10.6.7, 11.2.11, or 11.3.7 (depending on your current major version branch)
- 1. Backup the entire Drupal site including database and files
- 2. Identify the current Drupal core version by checking the core/composer.json or running `drush status`
- 3. For Drupal 10.x versions < 10.5.9: upgrade to 10.5.9; for versions 10.6.0-10.6.6: upgrade to 10.6.7
- 4. For Drupal 11.x versions < 11.2.11: upgrade to 11.2.11; for versions 11.3.0-11.3.6: upgrade to 11.3.7
- 5. Run `composer update drupal/core --with-all-dependencies` to update Drupal core
- 6. Run `drush updatedb` or `php core/scripts/drupal.php updatedb` to execute database updates
- 7. Clear all Drupal caches using `drush cr` or the performance page
- 8. Verify the site functionality and that the update was successful
