CVE-2018-7602

Status: AnalyzedCritical (9.8)⚠ Active exploitation💥 Exploit

A remote code execution vulnerability exists within multiple subsystems of Drupal 7.x and 8.x. This potentially allows attackers to exploit multiple attack vectors on a Drupal site, which could result in the site being compromised. This vulnerability is related to Drupal core - Highly critical - Remote Code Execution - SA-CORE-2018-002. Both SA-CORE-2018-002 and this vulnerability are being exploited in the wild.

CVSS

Version: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Base score: 9.8

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 99%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 100
Score date: 10/7/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

CISA KEV — actively exploited

Added to catalog: 4/13/2022
Remediation due date: 5/4/2022
