CVE-2026-64945 Details
Description
A vulnerability in Apache Answer. This issue affects Apache Answer: through 2.0.2. The question operation controller gates hide/show operations on the wrong permission check result (the unpin permission instead of the hide permission), so in custom role configurations that separate these permissions, a user granted only question.unpin can hide or restore questions without holding question.hide or question.show. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.3, which fixes the issue.
A vulnerability exists in Apache Answer versions prior to 2.0.2, where the question operation controller incorrectly associates hide/show permissions with the unpin permission. This flaw enables users with only the unpin permission to hide or restore questions, bypassing the need for the question.hide or question.show permissions. This issue arises in custom role configurations that differentiate these permissions.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Answer version 2.0.3 or later, which addresses this vulnerability.
