Drupal 7 Extended Support by Tag1 Ensures Security Beyond EOL
Drupal 7 officially reached its end-of-life (EOL) on January 5, 2025, ending community-provided security updates and support. Prior to this, the Drupal Security Team issued final updates to address critical vulnerabilities, including a cross-site scripting (XSS) issue in the Overlay module and a potential object injection vulnerability in Drupal core.
Tag1 contributors Ra Mänd and Fabian Franz were instrumental in these efforts. To fill the gap left by the EOL, the Drupal Association designated Tag1 as a Drupal 7 Extended Support (D7ES) Partner, ensuring continued security for D7 sites. Leveraging their experience with Drupal 6 post-EOL support and core component maintenance, Tag1’s program provides essential updates to safeguard organizations' investments in Drupal 7.
Hank VanZile, Senior Director at Tag1 Consulting, highlighted the importance of the D7ES program in addressing ongoing vulnerabilities and ensuring site stability beyond the EOL.
