Subject: CVE-2023-49619: Apache Answer: Repeated submissions using scripts
 resulted in an abnormal number of collections for questions. 

Severity: moderate

Affected versions:

- Apache Answer through 1.2.0

Description:

Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') vulnerability in Apache Answer.

This issue affects Apache Answer: through 1.2.0.

Under normal circumstances, a user can only bookmark a question once, and will only increase the number of questions bookmarked once. However, repeat submissions through the script can increase the number of collection of the question many times.
