## Description

Improper Restriction of Security Token Assignment vulnerability in Apache Answer. This issue affects Apache Answer: through 2.0.0. Previously issued administrative tokens were not invalidated after an administrator account was suspended, deleted, or deactivated, allowing continued access to administrative APIs until the token expired. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.1, which fixes the issue.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Apache Software Foundation Apache Answer, github.com/apache/incubator-answer, github.com/apache/answer, upgrade to a fixed version (2.0.1) per the references below.
