The software utilizes a shared resource in a concurrent manner, but it does not correctly synchronize access to the resource.

If access to a shared resource is not correctly synchronized, then the resource may not be in a state that is expected by the software. This might lead to unexpected or insecure behaviors, especially if an attacker can influence the shared resource.
