## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-17311 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?

An authenticated remote attacker can change application API subscriptions they should not be able to modify, because of broken object-level authorization. The access check does not stop a logged-in user from acting on objects that belong to others.
