I had the same request from inside one of Apple's apps. I think Apple just want you to update your security questions. I logged into the AppleID site, appleid.apple.com, and updated the questions there. Relaunched the app and no more questions.

I think you get 3 or 4 tries before they lock your account, I had gotten 1 question wrong 2x an didn't want the account locked because of a typo.

That sounds right. Although since I haven't entered my security question directly in that app, I was not asked to update them from any other App.

It just felt weird that a non Apple app suddenly asked for these things. I do use Find my Friends semi regularly in which you also login with your appleid password but so far there was never a message saying I needed to enter my security questions... weird.
