## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-63644 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?

The /traceroute endpoint passes unsanitized input into a command, so crafted input can be interpreted as command arguments. The advisory says this allows reading local files on the server, such as /etc/shadow and /root/.bash_history.
