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.
-
Confirm Events Log Track module is installedCheck your Drupal site's module directory or list installed modules via drush pm:list, or inspect the modules/events_log_track directory in your codebaseAffected if The Events Log Track module is present in the Drupal installation
-
Identify installed module versionCheck the version in the module's .info.yml file (e.g., events_log_track.info.yml) or run 'composer show drupal/events_log_track' if managed via ComposerAffected if A version number is returned that can be compared against the affected ranges
-
Compare version against affected rangesDetermine if the installed version is < 3.1.11 OR >= 4.0.0 AND < 4.0.2. For example, versions 3.1.10, 3.0.0, or 4.0.1 are affected.Affected if The installed version falls within < 3.1.11 or >= 4.0.0 and < 4.0.2
-
Verify module is enabled and processing eventsCheck if the module is enabled in Drupal (via admin/modules or drush pm:list --status=enabled) and that event logging is activeAffected if The module is enabled and actively processing log events, making the resource exhaustion flaw exploitable
A defender is affected if the Events Log Track module is installed, enabled, and running a version below 3.1.11 or between 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 inclusive.
