# CVE-2026-9082: Drupal Core SQL Injection Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Drupal Core. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-05-22, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2026-05-27 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 15.7% , percentile 97: FIRST’s model estimates a 15.7% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 97% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes drupal/core (Composer (PHP)) >= 8.9.0, < 10.4.10, fixed in 10.4.10 ; drupal/core (Composer (PHP)) >= 10.5.0, < 10.5.10, fixed in 10.5.10 ; drupal/core (Composer (PHP)) >= 10.6.0, < 10.6.9, fixed in 10.6.9 ; drupal/core (Composer (PHP)) >= 11.0.0, < 11.1.10, fixed in 11.1.10 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
