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 DP Calendar extension is installedCheck Joomla extensions list in the administrator panel under System > Manage > Extensions, or inspect the #__extensions database table for the DP Calendar componentAffected if The DP Calendar extension (com_dpcalendar) appears in the installed extensions list

-
Confirm extension is publicly accessibleCheck if the DP Calendar component is published and not restricted by access levels in the component settings, and verify the Joomla site is publicly reachableAffected if The extension is enabled and the site allows unauthenticated access to the component
-
Review web server and application logs for SQL injection indicatorsExamine access logs for unusual SQL syntax patterns in URL parameters targeting DP Calendar routes (typically index.php?option=com_dpcalendar)Affected if Log entries show SQL meta-characters (UNION, SELECT, INSERT, --, #) in query parameters to DP Calendar endpoints that did not originate from your own traffic
