This is a bit of an update to our update to PHP 7 that we did awhile back.

Last week we contacted all of our clients to announce our PHP 7.4 upgrade plans.

Much like the update to accomodate PHP 7, this update will necessitate some changes for some of our Drupal 6 clients.

Thankfully the scope of changes seems to be a bit smaller so far.

The important thing to note is that we are continuing to make changes to keep Drupal 6 and important contrib modules current with modern, supported (and secure) versions of PHP!

Read on to find out more!

As you may know, Drupal 6 has reached End-of-Life (EOL) which means the Drupal Security Team is no longer doing Security Advisories or working on security patches for Drupal 6 core or contrib modules - but the Drupal 6 LTS vendors are and we're one of them!

Today, there is a Moderately Critical security release for Drupal core and CTools to fix a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. You can learn more in the security advisory:

Drupal core - Moderately critical - Cross-site scripting - SA-CORE-2020-007

Here you can download:

• The Drupal 6 core patch, or a full release ZIP or TAR.GZ
• The CTools patch, or a full release ZIP or TAR.GZ

If you have a Drupal 6 site, we recommend you update immediately! We have already deployed the patch for all of our Drupal 6 Long-Term Support clients. :-)

FYI, there were other Drupal core security advisories made today, but those don't affect Drupal 6.

If you'd like all your Drupal 6 modules to receive security updates and have the fixes deployed the same day they're released, please check out our D6LTS plans.

Note: if you use the myDropWizard module (totally free!), you'll be alerted to these and any future security updates, and will be able to use drush to install them (even though they won't necessarily have a release on Drupal.org).

Your Drupal 7 site is working great, and it is powering important parts of your infrastructure. You need it to work safely, securely, and with a minimum of staff - especially now! myDropWizard has your back.

There are a number of sad and scary issues facing all of us, but working together we can solve any problem. myDropWizard would like to be a piece of the puzzle in helping your organization navigate the uncertainty of 2020 and beyond.
