The Drupal Security Team is a group of volunteers who monitor, triage, and fix security issues in Drupal core and contributed projects. They coordinate the release of security advisories on Drupal.org.
When a vulnerability is reported, the team works with maintainers to develop a fix, tests it privately, and releases it on a scheduled security release window. Wednesdays are the standard release day for most core security releases.
The team also audits contrib modules, helps maintainers address issues, and publishes guidance on safe development practices. Subscribing to security advisory emails from Drupal.org is essential for anyone running a Drupal site. Apply security updates promptly, because known vulnerabilities are often exploited within days of disclosure. The security team’s work is one of the reasons Drupal is trusted by governments, universities, and large enterprises worldwide.
