Advice
We would like to inform you of an upcoming Drupal 11 (D11) hotfix release and deployment. It will address DSA advisory PSA-2026-10-12 (https://www.drupal.org/psa-2026-10-12).
In preparation for this release, shield will be enabled on all non-production environments from COB Wednesday 14 October 2026. If you are unsure of the shield credentials, please raise a service desk ticket.
This PSA has the possibility to escalate to highly critical very quickly. As such we’ve devised 3 options for bulk deployments. We will keep you informed throughout Thursday.
Deployment schedule option 1:
- Deployment to commence from 12pm Thursday 15 October 2026 and will be conducted throughout the daytime.
- Production branches completed by 7pm Thursday 15 October 2026
- Non-Production branches completed by 10am Friday 16 October 2026
Deployment schedule option 2:
- Deployment to commence from 5pm Thursday 15 October 2026 and will be conducted throughout the daytime.

As a reminder, a SaaS deployment block is in place ONLY while we update the production branches. During this time, you will still be able to develop and deploy to non-production feature branches. We are wanting to give you as much lead time as possible, should you need to adjust your timeframes. PaaS deployments schedules are not impacted.
