What is CVE-2026-25700?

The vulnerability in Apache Answer arises from the improper management of security tokens. Specifically, previously issued administrative tokens remain valid even after an administrator account has been suspended, deleted, or deactivated. This flaw enables continued access to critical administrative APIs until the tokens naturally expire. It is crucial for users to upgrade to version 2.0.1 to mitigate this risk and ensure proper token invalidation processes are enforced.

Affected Version(s)
