Hello masters,  
Last weak I found a surprise but I didn’t share it because I had to make sure about it.  
Now I found that this problem exists and also presented in [edx.org](http://edx.org)  
To produce this, easily add a problem component to a unit (keep the additional answer), then check the unit’s live preview. You’re able to inspect an `<additional_answer>` tag which includes one of the correct answers of the question. Also I realize this is happening under [edx.org](http://edx.org)’s _course-v1:edX+DemoX.1+2T2019_. go through:

```nohighlight
Optional: Example Problem Types >>> Basic Problems >>> Fill-in-the-Blank .

```

Note: this tag is generating with JS. So you have to use your browser’s Developer tools (Ctrl+Shift+i in Chrome), View page source is not a choice.

Hey @nedbat ,  
can you address any progress on this please?

Thank you

As it happens, the fix is landing in the public repos today:

> <https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/23101>

  

> <https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/23102>

BTW, next time, an email to [security@edx.org](mailto:security@edx.org) will also work instead of a Discourse topic, but thanks for finding it! 🙂

Hey everybody,  
If you are on hawthorn or ironwood (I’m not sure about prior releases), you are involved with this problem.  
So for howthorn.master I successfully cherry-picked these two commits from Awais Jibran to fix it: _ **Fixing quality** _ and _ **Fix CAPA Problems** _

Thank you @nedbat
