Summary
Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Apache Answer.
This issue affects Apache Answer: through 2.0.0.
Timeline-related APIs lacked proper authorization checks, allowing regular authenticated users to access deleted, private, or unapproved content and its revision history. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.1, which fixes the issue.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: Added CPE configurations because not yet analyzed by NVD.
