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.
-
Determine installed Joomla versionLocate and read the version.php file in the Joomla installation directory (typically /libraries/joomla/version.php) or check the manifest.xml in /administrator/manifests/files/Affected if The version number returned is between 1.5.0 and 1.5.15 inclusive
-
Check Joomla version via admin footerAccess the Joomla administrator login page and view the page source or check the footer text which often displays the version numberAffected if The displayed version shows 1.5.0 through 1.5.15
-
Verify Joomla is accessibleConfirm the Joomla site is publicly accessible or accessible to the network segment where untrusted users could send requestsAffected if The Joomla installation responds to HTTP requests from unauthenticated users on the network
-
Confirm vulnerable component is enabledThis CVE relates to core information disclosure in Joomla 1.5.x - no specific component toggle needs to be enabled; the vulnerability exists in the base Joomla installationAffected if Joomla 1.5.x version 1.5.0-1.5.15 is installed and running
The environment is affected if the installed Joomla version is 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3, 1.5.4, 1.5.5, 1.5.6, 1.5.7, 1.5.8, 1.5.9, 1.5.10, 1.5.11, 1.5.12, 1.5.13, 1.5.14, or 1.5.15.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade Joomla! 1.5.x to a supported version (note: Joomla 1.5 is end-of-life; migrate to Joomla 3.x or later as no direct patch path exists for 1.5.x).
