AnalysisAI
Unauthorized information disclosure in Apache Answer through 2.0.0 allows authenticated users to bypass access restrictions on the 'unlisted question' feature by querying direct API endpoints. Rather than enforcing the same visibility controls applied at the UI layer, the underlying API routes expose unlisted questions along with their associated answers, comments, and full revision history to any authenticated user. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated session on the target Apache Answer instance - the attacker must hold a valid user account. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | No CVSS vector was provided, so attack vector, complexity, and privilege level cannot be confirmed from scoring metadata. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated user registers or logs into an Apache Answer instance and, knowing or guessing a question ID (e.g., via sequential enumeration or a leaked URL fragment), sends a direct HTTP request to the relevant API endpoint - bypassing the UI visibility check. The API returns the full question body, all answers, comments, and revision history for the unlisted question without verifying the caller's authorization. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Apache Answer version 2.0.1, which is confirmed by the Apache security advisory (https://answer.apache.org) to address this issue. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
