Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate the Take Control module installationCheck your Drupal modules directory for the take_control or rahul_singla_take_control folder, typically under sites/all/modules/ or sites/[sitename]/modules/Affected if The Take Control module folder exists in your Drupal installation
-
Identify the installed version of Take ControlOpen the take_control.info file inside the module folder and read the version field, or query the Drupal system table for the take_control module versionAffected if The version is 6.x-1.x, 6.x-2.0, or any 6.x-2.x version before 6.x-2.2
-
Confirm the module is enabledIn Drupal admin, go to Administer > Modules (or /admin/modules) and verify the Take Control module is checked and enabledAffected if The Take Control module is enabled and active on the site
-
Verify Ajax file manipulation endpoints are accessibleCheck if any custom scripts or Ajax handlers exposed by Take Control for file operations are accessible on the site, typically under path patterns like take_control/ajax/* or similarAffected if Ajax endpoints for file manipulation are reachable without additional authentication beyond the compromised user session
You are affected if the Take Control module version is 6.x-1.x, 6.x-2.0, or 6.x-2.x before 6.x-2.2 AND the module is enabled with exposed Ajax file manipulation functionality.
