Drupal core - Moderately critical - Server-side request forgery - SA-CORE-2026-008

Project: 
Date: 
2026-June-02
Vulnerability: 
Server-side request forgery
Affected versions: 
<10.5.12 || >=10.6.0 <10.6.11 || >=11.2.0 <11.2.14 || >=11.3.0 <11.3.12 || 11.0.* || 11.1.*
CVE IDs: 
CVE-2026-55807
Description: 

The Media module comes with support for oEmbed. The oEmbed specification contains two discovery mechanisms, via providers.json and via URL discovery.

The URL discovery code could be leveraged to trick Drupal into making server-side requests to any URL.

Solution: 

Install the latest version:

Drupal 11

Drupal 10

Drupal 11.1.x, Drupal 11.0.x, Drupal 10.4.x, and below are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage. (Drupal 8 and Drupal 9 have both reached end-of-life.)

Required site changes for URL discovery

Most users of the oEmbed functionality in Drupal likely use providers.json to define known providers (such as YouTube and Vimeo) for embedding content.

If you are using URL discovery, you now need to set a list of trusted oEmbed discovery hosts in settings.php.

This is an array containing a series of regular expressions for matching host names for discovery. It follows the same pattern as the existing trusted hosts settings.

Example:

// Only allow URL discovery from example.com.
$settings['media_oembed_discovery_trusted_host_patterns'] = [
  '^example\.com$',
];
