RingSafe analysis

India’s NIC-hosted state-government portals, university CMSes (DU, JNU, IIT departmental sites), and a long tail of public-sector communication properties run heavily on Drupal 9, 10, and 11. Mass-exploitation scanning typically reaches Indian ASNs within 48–72 hours of the first wave; this advisory is therefore a same-week, not month-end, patching event. Map to MITRE ATT&CK T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application) and T1505.003 (Web Shell) as the likely follow-on once SQLi is escalated to file write. Under DPDP Section 8, any Drupal site holding citizen registration, e-services, or grievance-redressal data is breach-notification-relevant the moment compromise is confirmed. Pull Drupal versions from your CMDB tonight; patch every node by week’s end; assume compromise on any node still unpatched past Monday and trigger your IR runbook accordingly.
