CVE-2026-25700 is an improper restriction of security token assignment vulnerability in Apache Answer through version 2.0.0. Administrative tokens issued to an administrator are not invalidated when that administrator account is suspended, deleted, or deactivated. Consequently, an otherwise valid pre-existing token continues to authenticate to administrative APIs until its normal expiration.
