Drupal before 7.58, 8.x before 8.3.9, 8.4.x before 8.4.6, and 8.5.x before 8.5.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code because of an issue affecting multiple subsystems with default or common module configurations including the Form API.

Run the following command to start a vulnerable Drupal 8.5.0 environment:
docker compose up -d
After the environment is started, visit http://your-ip:8080/ and you will see the drupal installation page. Complete the drupal installation using the "standard" profile. Because there is no mysql environment, you should select sqlite database when installing. Once the installation is complete you are ready to start exploiting it.
