Project: Examples for Developers [1]
Date: 2020-November-18
Security risk: *Critical* 17∕25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:All/II:All/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Remote Code Execution

Description: 
The File Example submodule within the Examples project does not properly
sanitize certain filenames as described in SA-CORE-2020-012 [3], along with
other related vulnerabilities.

Therefore, File Example so is being removed from Examples until a version
demonstrating file security best practices can added back in the future.

Solution: 
Any sites that have File Example submodule installed should uninstall it
immediately

Then, install the latest version of Examples:

   * If you use Examples 3 (Drupal 9-compatible), upgrade to Examples 3.0.2 
[4]
   * If you use the Examples module's 8.x-1.x branch, upgrade to Examples
     8.x-1.1 [5]
