## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-125849 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: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-125849

### What does this mean?

The theme does not check that a request to change settings came from the site's own admin pages. A logged-in user can be tricked into visiting a malicious page that makes their browser send actions they did not intend, such as changing passwords or making purchases.
