dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate the module version fileFind the COOKiES Consent Management module directory in your Drupal installation (typically in modules/contrib/ or modules/custom/) and open the cookies_consent.info.yml or cookies_consent.module file to read the version numberAffected if The version listed is below 1.2.15 (for example, 1.2.14, 1.2.10, 1.1.x, etc.)
