Does this affect you?

It affects CalcProgrammer1 OpenRGB. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

The OpenRGB network protocol allows to write attacker controlled strings into arbitrary file system paths (extension of CVE-2026-59682). This allows either a full system compromise from local or remote (if the daemon is running as root) or a full account takeover (if the daemon is running in user context).
