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.
-
Confirm SP Page Builder extension is installedNavigate to Joomla administrator panel, go to Components > SP Page Builder, or check the #__extensions database table for com_sppagebuilderAffected if SP Page Builder extension is not found in the Joomla installation
-
Identify installed SP Page Builder versionIn Joomla admin, go to Components > SP Page Builder > Dashboard, or inspect the manifest file at /administrator/components/com_sppagebuilder/sppagebuilder.xml for the <version> tagAffected if The version is lower than 6.7.1 (for example, 6.7.0, 6.6.x, etc.)

-
Inspect media manager request parametersUse browser developer tools or a proxy to capture a request when using the search box or date filter in the media manager. Examine the request parameters sent to the backend.Affected if The search or date filter parameters are present in the request without proper SQL parameterization indicators (prepared statements)
-
Check for signs of SQL injection exploitationReview web server access logs and Joomla database for suspicious SQL patterns in requests to /index.php?option=com_sppagebuilder&task=media. Search for common SQL injection payloads like UNION SELECT, SLEEP(), or benchmark().Affected if Evidence of malicious SQL queries in logs or unexpected data/modifications in the database
The environment is affected if SP Page Builder is installed with a version lower than 6.7.1 and the media manager component is accessible to authenticated users.

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 · scopedUpgrade SP Page Builder to version 6.7.1 or later to obtain the patched code with proper parameter validation. Since this is an authenticated vector, also review and limit user accounts with access to the media manager functionality.
SP Page Builder 6.7.1 or later
