GHSA-mr95-vfcf-fx9p: Apache Answer: Predictable Authorization Token Using UUIDv1
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.
Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
