If your site uses Field UI in drupal/core, this week's advisories include a remote code execution vulnerability in that module. It isn't directly exploitable with core alone, but I'd still check your installed version.

The fixes are in 10.6.19 / 11.3.19 / 11.4.10 / 12.0.0-beta2, depending on your branch. Those releases address all three core advisories:

• drupal/core, Field UI: remote code execution, with the core-alone limitation noted above.
• drupal/core, Link: insufficient sanitization of certain markup.
• drupal/core, Navigation: insufficient attribute sanitization that can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS).

I read the new Composer advisories each week. For the week of 12 October 2026, these are the ones I'd check first on Drupal sites.

When I started my postion as a Drupal Web Developer I inherited a very poorly maintained Drupal site. It was on Drupal 9 when I started, a week before it went EOL. It took me a year to clean it up enough to make the jump to D10, and that was with a lot of help from my predecessor, who we had to bring in on a consulting fee, and while he was great and wicked smart, he was not a great teacher. I've been in my position for 3 years and have been so bogged down in front end content management that I haven't had time to do anything other than regular D10 patches. Now we're looking to jump to D11, since D10 is going EOL, and this new PHP nonesense is driving me up the wall trying to figure out how to fix all this without torching the site.

At this point I'm looking for a company who can come in and clean up all the wonky database mess we have, figure out what packages are being used, and basically clean up the back end of the site so I can have a clean build to work with. Who can I reach out to for a consultation and figure out how I can get this site back to a manageable build?
