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.
-
Identify if Anti-Spam by CleanTalk module is installedNavigate to Drupal admin panel at /admin/modules or check the modules directory for the cleantalk folderAffected if The module folder cleantalk exists in the Drupal modules directory
-
Determine the installed version of the CleanTalk moduleCheck the cleantalk.info.yml file inside the module folder, or view module details at /admin/modules/list/confirmAffected if The version listed is earlier than 9.7.2 (compare your version to the known affected range before the fix)
-
Verify the module is enabled and processing form submissionsCheck the module status at /admin/modules or run drush pm-list --status=enabled | grep cleantalkAffected if The module status shows as Enabled and is processing form inputs
-
Confirm user input is being reflected without encoding in CleanTalk responsesSubmit a test request with a harmless script tag payload in any CleanTalk-protected form field and examine if the payload appears unescaped in the responseAffected if The submitted payload is returned in the HTML response without proper sanitization or encoding
You are affected if the Anti-Spam by CleanTalk module is installed, enabled, and your installed version predates the fixed release that addresses the reflected XSS vulnerability.
