CVE-2026-11909
Description
The Examples for Developers project aims to provide high-quality, well-documented API examples for a broad range of Drupal core functionality. The "Read from a file" feature implemented by the file\_example submodule can be used to expose any file that PHP can access. Therefore, the file\_example sub-module is being removed from Examples for Developers until a version demonstrating file security best practices can be added back in the future. Developers who based a new module on this example should review their code for an access bypass.
