A race condition in web apps usually occurs when:
Two or more concurrent requests are made that manipulate shared resources, like changing a password, transferring money, redeeming a coupon, etc.
The application does not properly synchronize or lock access to the resource.
As a result, a user might exploit this flaw to:
Bypass rate limits
Redeem a voucher multiple times
Transfer more money than allowed
Escalate privileges
