Drupal
Drupal is an established open-source content-management system used for complex, content-heavy sites including many government and enterprise deployments. It is detected from generator meta tags, characteristic paths and asset fingerprints.
Unpatched Drupal cores and contributed modules have been the root of serious mass-exploitation events. A Drupal detection is a cue to check the version and look for signs of compromise in the scanned page.

How ScanMalware detects Drupal
Drupal is detected by analysing the response headers, HTML markup, JavaScript runtime and asset URLs captured when ScanMalware loads the site in a real headless browser.
From any scan you can pivot into related signals — JARM TLS fingerprints, ASN ownership and BGP routing, certificate history, JavaScript analysis and the overall security verdict — to understand not just that Drupal is present, but how it is being used. Open the full search interface for Drupal →

- How many sites using Drupal has ScanMalware scanned?
- Drupal has been detected in 12,160 public scans on ScanMalware.com. Each scan is a real headless-browser visit, and the figure updates as new URLs are submitted.
- What technologies are commonly used with Drupal?
- Across scanned sites, Drupal is most often seen alongside MetaGenerator, PHP and HSTS. The full co-occurrence breakdown is listed on this page.
