To update your OpenY site with security fix from Drupal core https://www.drupal.org/SA-CORE-2018-004 OpenY team is suggesting 2 options- via patch and via Drupal core upgrade(or OpenY upgrade). Drupal core upgrade or OpenY upgrade is not always possible, but security issue should be fixed asap. So consider to apply patch and plan OpenY upgrade later.

How to apply the patch

Patching OpenY releases 8.0.1 - 8.1.10 (Drupal cores 8.2.x, 8.3.x, 8.4.x)

For patching your OpenY release, follow steps below:

Login to your production server environment via SSH and find docroot folder of your site codebase. If you installed OpenY by following a tutorial - you should: if your site is located in /var/www/html

ssh -l root YOUR_SERVER_DOMAIN_NAME
cd /var/www/html

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YCloudYUSA/yusaopeny-project/8.1.x/scripts/patches/SA-CORE-2018-004.patch

if your site is located in /var/www/openy

ssh -l root YOUR_SERVER_DOMAIN_NAME
cd /var/www/openy

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YCloudYUSA/yusaopeny-project/8.1.x/scripts/patches/SA-CORE-2018-004.patch

Now you are ready to patch your site. But before patching - make a backup of the file which is about to be patched

sudo cp docroot/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Security/RequestSanitizer.php /var/backups/RequestSanitizer.php
sudo cp docroot/core/modules/file/src/Element/ManagedFile.php /var/backups/ManagedFile.php

To patch your site run the command to test if the patch can be applied:

patch -p1 --dry-run < SA-CORE-2018-004.patch

You should see a result

# patch -p1 --dry-run < SA-CORE-2018-004.patch
checking file core/lib/Drupal/Core/Security/RequestSanitizer.php
checking file core/modules/file/src/Element/ManagedFile.php

In case if result different - stop on this step and let us know you have issue. In case if all good proceed with a command below, which will patch your site:

patch -p1 < SA-CORE-2018-004.patch

You should see the same output as previously, but now your site is patched.

TIP: In case if you are using git repository for your site run

git add docroot/core/modules/file/src/Element/ManagedFile.php docroot/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Security && git commit -m "Patching OpenY core" && git push

to store your patched core into your own repository.
