Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-79620 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apache Answer. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79620/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79620/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-79620","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79620/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-79620","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q46v-29x8-h5mj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Answer Q\u0026A","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can view metadata of non-public questions due to improper authorization checks in Apache Answer.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-202","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information Through Data Queries"}],"description":"Exposure of sensitive information through data queries vulnerability in Apache Answer.\n\nThis issue affects Apache Answer: through 2.0.2.\n\nAn improper authorization check in the similar-question search allowed authenticated users to view metadata of non-public questions.\n\nUsers are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.3, which fixes the issue.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Apache Answer: Improper Authorization Allows Disclosure of Non-Public Question Metadata","id":"CVE-2026-79620","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"CatalogX \u003c 6.1.3 - Unauthenticated Email Content Injection via Shared Transient","id":"CVE-2026-79621"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"OpenZFS: user-namespace capability check allows unprivileged local authorization bypass","id":"CVE-2026-79619"},"products":["Apache Answer"],"published":"2026-10-19","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Apache Software Foundation"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can view metadata of non-public questions due to improper authorization checks in Apache Answer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-79620/"}
