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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if Quick Node Block module is installed
    Access Drupal admin panel at /admin/modules or run 'drush pm-list' to list installed modules. Look for 'Quick Node Block' in the module list.
    Affected if Quick Node Block appears in the installed modules list
  2. Determine the installed version of Quick Node Block
    In Drupal admin, go to /admin/modules or /admin/reports/status to view module versions. Alternatively, check the module's info.yml file (quick_node_block.info.yml) in the modules directory for the 'version' field.
    Affected if The version listed is 2.0.x (any 2.0.x release)
  3. Verify if the module is currently enabled
    Check the 'Enabled' status column in /admin/modules for Quick Node Block, or run 'drush state-get system.module_list' to see enabled modules.
    Affected if Quick Node Block shows as enabled
  4. Inspect Quick Node Block permission settings
    Navigate to /admin/people/permissions#module-quick_node_block (or equivalent permissions page) and review what roles have permissions related to Quick Node Block functionality.
    Affected if Any authenticated or anonymous user roles are granted permissions to create, edit, or view Quick Node Block content without intended restrictions
  5. Check for exposed Quick Node Block content
    Review content types that utilize Quick Node Block at /admin/structure/types and look for any blocks configured with restricted access that may be accessible without proper authorization.
    Affected if Content created via Quick Node Block is publicly accessible when it should require authentication

A user is affected if Quick Node Block version 2.0.x is installed and enabled, as the missing authorization flaw could allow unauthorized access to restricted pages or functionality.
