## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-17293 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?

A signed-in user can change the profile information of other users they are not permitted to modify, because the product does not properly check object-level authorization. The flaw is in how the product checks which user records a request may change.
