Update Drupal ASAP: Over a million sites can be easily hacked by any visitor | #CyberSecurity #CyberHygiene #Vulnerabilities #Updates | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

A dangerous Drupal flaw could leave your site completely compromised if you don't patch the flaw immediately.

Developers of popular open-source CMS Drupal are warning admins to immediately patch a flaw that an attacker can exploit just by visiting a vulnerable site.

The bug affects all sites running on Drupal 8, Drupal 7, and Drupal 6. Drupal's project usage page indicates that about a million sites are running the affected versions.

Admins are being urged to immediately update to Drupal 7.58 or Drupal 8.5.1. Drupal issued an alert for the patch last week warning admins to allocate time for patching because exploits might arrive "within hours or days" of its security release. So far, there haven't been any attacks using the flaw, according to Drupal.

The bug, which is being called Drupalgeddon2, has been assigned the official identifier CVE-2018-7600.

Drupal has given it a 'highly critical' rating with a risk score of 21 out of 25 under the NIST Common Misuse Scoring System.

Although there are no security releases for the unsupported Drupal 8.3.x and 8.4.x, Drupal has released patches for quick remediation.
