Drupal Core - Highly Critical - Injection - SA-CORE-2016-003

Description

Drupal 8 uses the third-party PHP library Guzzle for making server-side HTTP requests. An attacker can provide a proxy server that Guzzle will use. The details of this are explained at https://httpoxy.org/.

CVE identifier(s) issued

  • CVE-2016-5385

Versions affected

  • Drupal core 8.x versions prior to 8.1.7

Solution

Install the latest version:

We also suggest mitigating it as described here: https://httpoxy.org/

Also see the Drupal core project page.

What if I am running Drupal core 8.0.x?

Drupal core 8.0.x is no longer supported. Update to 8.1.7 to get the latest security and bug fixes.

Why is this being released Monday rather than Wednesday?

The Drupal Security Team usually releases Security Advisories on Wednesdays. However, this vulnerability affects more than Drupal, and the authors of Guzzle and reporters of the issue coordinated to make it public Monday. Therefore, we are issuing a core release to update to the secure version of Guzzle today.
