Answer
Improper synchronization leading to race conditions.
Concurrency issues can be severe security risks. In Java, improper synchronization can lead to race conditions, where multiple threads manipulate data concurrently, causing data corruption or unauthorized access. For instance, if two threads update a balance simultaneously without synchronization, the final balance may be incorrect.
