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.
-
Identify Drupal Core versionCheck the composer.json file in your Drupal root directory for the drupal/core package version, or view the CHANGELOG.txt file which lists the version in its headerAffected if The version is 10.2.0, 10.2.1, or any 10.1.x version before 10.1.8, or any version from 8.0.0 through 10.1.7
-
Check version via DrushRun the command 'drush status' and look for the 'Drupal version' field to confirm the installed versionAffected if The reported version matches the affected ranges (10.2.0-10.2.1 or 10.1.0-10.1.7)
-
Verify version in admin UILog into the Drupal administration panel and navigate to the Reports > Status report page (admin/reports/status) to view the Drupal core versionAffected if The version displayed is within the vulnerable ranges specified
