Summary
Apache Answer: The link to reset the user's password will remain valid after sending a new link
Details

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.
