For developers: what the fix changed

The fix implements `hook_entity_field_access()` in `adobe_analytics.module` and `src/Hook/AdobeAnalyticsHooks.php` to restrict edit access for the `adobe_analytics` field type to users with the `administer adobe analytics configuration` permission, preventing unauthorised users from injecting arbitrary JavaScript.

Also in this release The release also adds GitLab CI configuration, updates core version requirements for Drupal 11 and 12, and converts hooks to use the new object-oriented hook attributes.

Get in touch

Tell me who you are, what your organisation does, and what you need. That might be a Drupal site that needs looking after, an upgrade to get done before December, or an agency that needs Drupal cover.

If I can help, I'll say so and suggest a call. If I can't, I'll tell you straight away rather than waste your time.

For context: I work mainly with UK membership bodies, charities and research organisations, and with the agencies that look after their websites. Not recruiters.

Or start smaller and connect with me on LinkedIn. That's where I post what I find digging around in charity and grants data, and where the free tools turn up first.
