Drupal CMS Security

Drupal Penetration Testing

We search for critical security vulnerabilities in your Drupal application and write a pentest report with technical details and suggested solutions.

Our experts conduct thorough penetration tests to detect and fix potential security vulnerabilities in your Drupal system. Through targeted analyses and realistic attack simulations, we improve the resilience of your websites against cyber threats.

My Recommendation

Drupal security from project experience

Drupal offers enormous flexibility - but also brings hidden attack points. We combine core and module analyses with reviews of your individual extensions so your system can scale securely.
Audit Focus

What We Test in Drupal Projects

  • Custom Modules & Contrib

    Code review for custom-developed modules, contrib modules and theme implementations for XSS, SQLi and access control.

  • Drupal Commerce Security

    Payment flows, checkout logic, order processing and PCI-DSS compliance in Commerce installations.

  • Configuration & Permissions

    Role-based access control, content access modules, view permissions and field-level security.

In Drupal Commerce we test payment flows particularly intensively - PII and financial data are highly attractive targets.

Why Drupal Projects Need Regular Pentests

Drupal is a modular enterprise CMS for data-driven applications - from complex news portals via intranet solutions to full-featured e-commerce platforms with Drupal Commerce. The flexibility comes at a price: custom modules, contrib code and complex permission systems regularly lead to critical vulnerabilities - from access control bypasses via SQL injections to configuration issues.

Custom Module Security We analyze custom-developed Drupal modules, contrib code and theme layer for classic web vulnerabilities (XSS, SQLi, CSRF) and Drupal-specific issues such as permission bypasses and entity access violations.

Drupal Commerce & Payment Security In Commerce installations we test payment flows, checkout logic, order manipulations and PCI-DSS-relevant controls - PII and financial data are highly attractive attack targets.

Configuration & Access Control Role-based access control, view permissions, field-level security and content access modules - we check granularly whether users can really only access authorized content.

We deliver prioritized results with code examples, concrete fix suggestions for your dev team and - if desired - management summaries for stakeholders and compliance audits.

Which Security Vulnerabilities Do We Find During a Drupal Pentest?

Drupal pentests uncover a wide spectrum of vulnerabilities - from classic PHP web vulnerabilities via Drupal-specific access control issues to configuration leaks.

Access Control & Permission Bypasses

Faulty permission checks in custom modules, misconfigured content access modules, view permission bypasses and entity access violations - Drupal's granular permission system is regularly implemented incorrectly.

SQL Injection in Custom Queries

Drupal's Database API is secure - but custom queries via db_query(), dynamic WHERE clauses and unsafe filter parameters in Views regularly lead to SQL injections. Especially in Commerce modules and search functions.

XSS & CSRF in Custom Modules

Despite Drupal's auto-escaping: Unsafe render arrays, direct HTML output via drupal_set_message(), custom Ajax callbacks without CSRF protection and missing #markup sanitization lead to XSS and CSRF.

Configuration & Information Disclosure

Directory listing + .git/.env access, backup files in webroot, phpinfo() exposures, verbose error messages (Drupal debug mode) and unsafe settings.php permissions - classic info leaks that turn blackbox to whitebox.

Contrib Module Vulnerabilities

Outdated or poorly maintained contrib modules with known CVEs, missing security updates, unsafe webform configurations and vulnerable admin panels in popular modules like Views, Panels, Webform.

Authentication & Credential Issues

User enumeration, weak default passwords for freelancer accounts, old admin accounts without MFA, unsafe password reset flows and known credentials from breach dumps - especially in agency projects.

Whitebox vs. Blackbox: How We Conduct Drupal Pentests

With Drupal, the whitebox approach is almost always worthwhile - especially when custom modules or Commerce extensions are in use. We combine code review with dynamic testing.

Blackbox Testing

We test without access to source code - like an external attacker. Focus is on configuration issues, contrib module vulnerabilities, information disclosure and access control bypasses. Limited for custom code, but effective for public-facing vulnerabilities.

  • Realistic attacker scenario
  • Configuration & deployment issues
  • Limited in custom module analysis

How Much Does a Drupal Pentest Cost?

The price depends on complexity - standard Drupal sites vs. Commerce installations with custom modules and payment integration make the difference.
