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.
-
Verify Drupal Calculation Fields module is installedRun 'drush pm-list --type=module' or check the Drupal modules directory for the calculation_fields module (typically in modules/contrib/joaopaulocdev_calculation_fields or similar). Also check the .info.yml file for the module.Affected if The module is present and enabled in the Drupal installation
-
Determine the installed version of the Calculation Fields moduleRun 'drush pm-info calculation_fields' or inspect the calculation_fields.info.yml file in the module directory to read the 'version:' or 'core:' field. Also check composer.json if installed via Composer.Affected if The reported version is any version prior to 1.0.4 (e.g., 1.0.3, 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0, or no version shown which indicates an unpatched release)
-
Confirm calculation fields are in use on the siteQuery the Drupal database for field configurations: run 'drush sql-query "SELECT * FROM config WHERE name LIKE '%calculation%'"' or check the field_config and field_config_instance tables for any fields of type 'calculation' or related to the module.Affected if Any calculation field configurations exist and are being used in content types, forms, or views on the site
The environment is affected if the Joaopaulocdev Calculation Fields module is installed with a version earlier than 1.0.4 and calculation fields are actively configured or rendered on the Drupal site.

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.
dbcve · scoped1.0.4
Update the Drupal Calculation Fields module to version 1.0.4 or later to incorporate proper input sanitization and output encoding.
1.0.4
- Back up your Drupal site database and files
- Update the Calculation Fields module to version 1.0.4 or later using Composer (composer update drupal/calculation_fields) or via Drupal's admin interface at /admin/modules
- Clear Drupal caches after the update using drush cr or via admin interface
- Verify the Calculation Fields module shows version 1.0.4 or higher at /admin/modules
