Description

Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in Apache Answer.

This issue affects Apache Answer: through 1.3.5.

User sends multiple password reset emails, each containing a valid link. Within the link's validity period, this could potentially lead to the link being misused or hijacked. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.3.6, which fixes the issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/apache/incubator-answer. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/apache/incubator-answer to 1.3.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-41890 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2024-41890 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to CVE-2024-41890. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
