Questions about CVE-2026-124471

Is CVE-2026-124471 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.Source: cve.now feed data

What does this mean?

The billing page sl_eob_invoice.php does not check that a logged-in user is authorized for the record it returns. By changing the id parameter, any authenticated user can view patient names and billing notes for other encounters, change billing notes, post fake payments and adjustments, and delete accounts receivable transactions.Source: vulncheck.com, github.com
