Summary

A vulnerability exists in a third-party development library bundled with Drupal 8, potentially allowing for remote code execution. This risk primarily affects users running versions of Drupal prior to 8.2.2. Although the default .htaccess configuration provides some protection against PHP execution, sites may still be at risk if development dependencies have been improperly managed. To mitigate potential threats, users should ensure that the /vendor/phpunit directory is removed from production environments.

Affected Version(s)

Drupal Core 8.2.x versions before 8.2.7
