Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

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.
-
Verify Entity Delete Log module is installedIn Drupal admin, navigate to Extend or use drush pm-list --status=enabled | grep entity_delete_log to list enabled modulesAffected if Entity Delete Log module appears in the list of enabled modules
-
Determine installed version of Entity Delete LogCheck the module's info.yml file in modules/contrib/entity_delete_log/entity_delete_log.info.yml or run: drush pm:list --field=entity_delete_log versionAffected if Version is less than 1.1.1 or the version cannot be determined (module predates proper versioning)
-
Confirm module is accessible to authenticated usersNavigate to the deletion log page path (typically /admin/config/entity-delete-log or similar) while logged in as a low-privilege authenticated user accountAffected if The page loads without a permission denied error for a user without admin roles
-
Review access logs for entity delete log pathsCheck Drupal access log tables (watchdog or access_log) for requests to entity_delete_log paths from user accounts that should not have deletion log permissionsAffected if Any GET or POST requests to deletion log paths appear for non-administrator accounts
User is affected if Entity Delete Log module version is below 1.1.1 and low-privilege authenticated users can access deletion log pages or records.
