CVE-2024-45719: Apache Answer: Predictable Authorization Token Using UUIDv1

November 22, 2024 (updated November 27, 2024)

Inadequate Encryption Strength vulnerability in Apache Answer.

This issue affects Apache Answer: through 1.4.0.

The ids generated using the UUID v1 version are to some extent not secure enough. It can cause the generated token to be predictable. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.4.1, which fixes the issue.
