Severity: important

Affected versions:

- Apache Answer through 1.4.0

Description:

Inadequate Encryption Strength vulnerability in Apache Answer.

This issue affects Apache Answer: through 1.4.0.

The ids generated using the UUID v1 version are to some extent not secure enough. It can cause the generated token to 
be predictable.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.4.1, which fixes the issue.
