Description

A visit to install.php can cause cached data to become corrupted. This could cause a site to be impaired until caches are rebuilt.

Affected versions

Packagist

Package	Vulnerable	Fixed in
drupal/core	`>= 8.0.0, < 8.7.11` `>= 8.8.0, < 8.8.1`	`8.7.11` `8.8.1`

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
