## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-118468 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.

### What does this mean?

The XML parsing components in these products are configured insecurely, which allows access to external resources. The advisory says this can compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the affected information and functions.

### What if there's no patch?

The checked facts give no workaround. The cause is an insecure configuration of the XML-parsing components, so reviewing and hardening how those components handle external resources is the relevant step until a fix is available.
