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.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Pages Restriction Access Drupal module before 2.0.3 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability that allows forceful browsing, meaning users can access restricted pages by directly navigating to URLs that should be protected, bypassing the module's access control checks.

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 Pages Restriction Access module is installedLocate the Ciandt Pages Restriction Access module directory in your Drupal installation (typically under modules/contrib or sites/all/modules) or check via Drupal admin UI at Extend listAffected if The module directory or entry exists in the Drupal modules folder
-
Determine the installed module versionOpen the pages_restriction_access.info.yml file inside the module directory and read the 'version' or 'core_version' value, or check the version displayed in Drupal's Extend administration pageAffected if The version listed is 2.0.0, 2.0.1, or 2.0.2 (any version >= 2.0.0 but < 2.0.3)
-
Confirm the module is enabledCheck Drupal's Extend page or run 'drush pm-list --status=enabled' to verify pages_restriction_access module is currently enabledAffected if The module shows as enabled in Drupal's module administration
-
Verify restricted pages are configuredInspect the module's configuration at Configuration > Pages Restriction Access (or equivalent path) to see if any page restrictions are definedAffected if Any restricted page paths or patterns exist in the module's configuration settings
You are affected if the Pages Restriction Access module is installed with version 2.0.0, 2.0.1, or 2.0.2, is currently enabled, and has restricted pages configured.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
