Update - We have received LTS updates from our upstream vendor and are working to deploy the patch to older versions of PHP.

We will post an update on that once it is complete or we have a clear ETA.
Our network-level mitigations remain effective and we see no evidence of compromise for any sites on the platform.

Oct 21, 2026 - 14:32 PDT
Update - We have patched all live production sites running supported PHP versions (8.2 - 8.5).
Oct 21, 2026 - 12:49 PDT
Update - We estimate the complete rollout for live environments on supported PHP versions (8.2 -> 8.5) within the next 20 minutes.

We are also prioritizing pre-production environments for paying customers, and have preemptively patched development or mutli-dev environments that were toggled into a mutable code state (“SFTP mode”).

We will provide an update on LTS versions of PHP (8.1.x through 5.6.x) once our upstream vendor has backported the patches and made updates available. That work has been in progress since 14:00 UTC.

Our network-level mitigations remain effective, and are blocking a low but slowly increasing level of activity which is probing the vulnerable surface area.
At this time we do not see evidence of widespread exploitation attempts, or any successful exploits.

We will continue to deliver patched versions of PHP as quickly as possible, and maintain network level mitigation and continuous monitoring to provide our customers and the wider PHP community insights into how this situation plays out

Oct 21, 2026 - 12:30 PDT
Identified - Patching continues to roll out across the infrastructure in stages, with protective mitigations remaining active. We have not observed any volumetric exploit attempts, and no customer action is required.

We expect to provide an estimated completion time for the patching rollout within the next hour.

Oct 21, 2026 - 11:22 PDT
Update - Patches continue rolling out across the infrastructure in stages, and protective mitigations remain active. We have not observed any volumetric exploit attempts, and no customer action is required.
Oct 21, 2026 - 10:17 PDT
Update - Patching work is still in progress. Environments are being updated in stages, and protective mitigations remain active across the platform while the remaining updates complete.

We are not yet seeing evidence of any volumetric exploit attempts. No customer action is needed. We will provide further updates as the rollout progresses.

Oct 21, 2026 - 09:07 PDT
Update - Updated PHP versions addressing CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 are now available, and we are beginning the process of rolling them out across our infrastructure.

No action is required from customers.

We will continue to update this post as the rollout progresses.

Oct 21, 2026 - 07:36 PDT
Investigating - Pantheon is actively mitigating against the PHP security vulnerabilities announced at 14:00 UTC today. PHP environments are being patched to the following versions:

8.5.12
8.4.27
8.3.36
8.2.35

Additionally, we are patching the following heirloom PHP branches via our LTS vendor:

8.1.x
8.0.x
7.4.x
7.3.x
7.2.x
7.1.x
7.0.x
5.6.x

Finally, in preparation for this event, we pre-emptively deployed configuration changes to the runtime environment to mitigate potential attack vectors, and have implemented network-level mitigations to deflect attempted exploit payloads across the platform.

No action is required from customers, as all available versions of PHP on Pantheon receive security updates through our LTS vendor. However, we continue to recommend that customers running on older versions of PHP that have reached End of Sale update to a version fully supported by the PHP community in order to minimize their overall risk.

To pin your version of PHP to a different version, see https://docs.pantheon.io/guides/php/php-versions.

We will update this post as patching progresses and as we learn more about the vulnerability.

Resolved - Drupal Steward protection is in place for some known attack vectors related to CVE-2026-108097. This reduces exposure, but does not cover every possible exploit path or replace applying the security update. No customer impact is currently reported, and we continue to monitor.

Patched Drupal 10 and 11 releases are available through Integrated Composer, and Drupal 7.107 is available as an upstream update. Please update affected sites as soon as possible. If you cannot update immediately, uninstall the core Field UI module (field_ui) as a temporary mitigation.

See the Drupal core security update and Drupal 7.107 security update for details.

Oct 15, 16:11 PDT
Update - Drupal 10 and 11 security updates are available through Integrated Composer, and the Drupal 7.107 upstream security update has been released. Release notes are available for both update paths: Drupal core security update and Drupal 7.107 security update.
Oct 15, 12:17 PDT
Update - Drupal 7.107 is now available as an upstream update.

Customers running Drupal 7 applications should update to Drupal 7.107 as soon as possible.
To apply the update, use the Drupal core update workflow in the Pantheon Dashboard.

Oct 14, 13:51 PDT
Update - We are aware of the Drupal 7 release and will update this incident when it is available as an upstream update.
Oct 14, 12:49 PDT
Monitoring - A Drupal core security release is now available for CVE-2026-108097 (risk 19/25). It fixes a critical remote code execution vulnerability in the Field UI module.
Drupal core alone is not directly exploitable, but several exploit paths exist through contributed modules, including at least one path that does not require authentication. Custom code can also expose the vulnerable functionality.

Action required

Update your Drupal sites to a patched release as soon as possible:
Drupal 11.4.10
Drupal 11.3.19
Drupal 10.6.19

Drupal 12.0.0-alpha1 through 12.0.0-beta1 are also affected. See the Drupal security advisory for Drupal 12 remediation details.
Drupal 11.2.x and earlier, Drupal 10.5.x and earlier, Drupal 9, and Drupal 8.9 are end-of-life. These versions are affected and do not receive security patches. Upgrade sites on these versions to a supported Drupal release.

To apply the update, use the Drupal core update workflow in the Pantheon Dashboard. See the Pantheon security release note for instructions.

Mitigation until you update

If you cannot update immediately, uninstall the core Field UI module (field_ui).
The Drupal Security Team states that this protects your site until you update.

As a founding Platform Partner of the Drupal Steward program, Pantheon provides protection against some known attack vectors. Drupal Steward does not cover all possible exploits, so it does not replace updating your site.

Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed.
Oct 13, 19:00 PDT
In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.
Oct 13, 18:00 PDT
Scheduled - As part of the upcoming 10/13 routine maintenance window, updates to two systems will result in limited service interruptions:

1. Site management workflow systems: We will update the systems that process deployments, database operations, and other site management workflows. These workflows will be temporarily interrupted, and jobs queued before the maintenance window may fail.

2. Next.js request-routing service: We will update the security settings for the service that routes requests to Next.js sites. Next.js sites may experience a brief interruption while this work is completed.

We recommend avoiding deployments and other site management workflows during the maintenance window. While we do not anticipate any impact to uptime for WordPress or Drupal sites during this maintenance window, Next.js sites may experience a brief interruption.

Oct 7, 16:08 PDT
Identified - We have identified the cause of the 504 errors affecting the site. Service has been restored, and our verification confirms that uncached requests to the live site are returning successfully.

The issue was caused by an interruption of the database server supporting the site. The database has recovered, and our Engineering team is completing cleanup and validating the affected environment, including a previously unsuccessful database migration.

We are continuing to monitor the site and will provide another update as soon as more information becomes available. If you continue to experience issues, please contact helpdesk@pantheon.io.

Oct 7, 15:20 PDT
Investigating - We are investigating reports that a subset of Pantheon-hosted sites are returning 504 Gateway Timeout errors due to a database server issue.

Customers may experience site timeouts or failed page loads, and database migrations for affected environments may also be impacted.

Our Engineering team is actively working to restore normal service and verify that affected database operations are completing successfully. Some affected sites have begun recovering, but intermittent errors may continue while the investigation remains ongoing.

We will post updates as soon as more information becomes available. If you need immediate assistance, please contact helpdesk@pantheon.io.
