Explain CVE-2026-59044 for an engineer deciding whether to act. Use https://cve.bz/api/public/cves/CVE-2026-59044?via=ask-ai-copy and https://cve.bz/cve/CVE-2026-59044?via=ask-ai-copy as the source of truth: what is affected and which versions fix it, whether it is in CISA KEV, public exploits, and its EPSS (an internet-wide 30-day estimate of exploitation activity, not a forecast for my systems).
