Summary
Flock's hosted FlockOS public safety platform had a flaw in its visual alert feature that let a logged-in user with permission to manage saved searches read, change, or delete another organization's saved-search alerts and their recipients, and create alerts under another organization's name. The attack can be carried out remotely by a user with low-privilege login access, and Flock fixed the hosted service in September 2026, so no customer action is needed.

Read the original description
Missing authorization checks in the visual alert feature of FlockOS, Flock's hosted public safety platform, prior to 2026-09-28, allowed an authenticated user with permission to manage saved searches in their own organization to read, modify or delete another organization's saved-search alerts and change their recipients, given the alert's identifier, and to create alerts attributed to another organization. Flock remediated the issue in the hosted service on 2026-09-28; no customer action is required.

Check your systems with an agent
Paste this into a coding or ops agent. It checks your systems read-only and reports a table per asset.
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-124036 (Cross-organization access to saved-search alerts in FlockOS), using the cve.now data below. Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only. What cve.now has for CVE-2026-124036 (entry last updated 2026-11-10): Affected: - Flock FlockOS: fixed in 2026-09-28 Fixed versions: 2026-09-28. Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory. CISA KEV: CVE-2026-124036 is not listed as of cve.now's last read. This KEV status is for CVE-2026-124036 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one. How to check: - Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory. Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one: - https://www.flocksafety.com/legal/security-advisories Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing. Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action. Entry: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-124036 For follow-up questions, use the cve.now MCP server at https://mcp.cve.now/mcp (no authentication), for example get_vulnerability with id CVE-2026-124036.
