High CVSS 7.5
CVE-2026-60023
Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Apache Answer. This issue affects Apache Answer: through 2.0.1. Deleted or pending answers could be retrieved by unauthorized users through the single-answer read path when the parent question remained visible, exposing answer content that should not have been accessible. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.2, which fixes the issue.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data.
- Weakness
- The application reveals information an unauthorised user should not see.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
