## FAQ

### What does this mean?

A web page can read the browser's local anti-detect state, which lets it identify a GeekEZ user and see their fingerprint-management settings. When the Public API is enabled, profiles can also be created or changed without authentication.

### Am I affected, and how do I check?

The checked facts name GeekEZ Browser 1.7.1, and the CVE description covers up to 1.7.2 and 1.8.0. The bug only matters when the Public API is enabled, so check the browser's version and whether that API setting is on.

### What should I do about it?

The checked facts name no fixed version, so no upgrade target can be given. Keep the Public API disabled and watch the vendor's advisory for a fix.

### Is it 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.
