CVE-2024-41890
Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in Apache Answer.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.15%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

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.
