CVSS v3.1 |
| Missing Authorization vulnerability in Apache Roller 4.0 through 6.1.6 allows a weblog member with the Limited role to remove or change entries that member may only read, including entries published by other members. The entry editor checked the member's weblog role but not whether that role permits work on the entry.
Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later. |
| Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache Roller. When Roller sends a weblog update ping, its XML-RPC client deserializes Java object data contained in the ping target's response, so a party that controls that response can run code in the Roller server process. This issue affects Apache Roller from 4.0 through 6.1.6. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.1.7, which removes the unsafe deserialization. |
| Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Apache Roller 5.0.1 through 6.1.6 allows an authenticated user with the Author role on a weblog to store script in entry tags submitted through AtomPub. Roller's tag filter allowed HTML characters in tag names, and the bundled gaurav, fauxcoly and frontpage themes and the showEntryTags macro print tag names without escaping, so the script runs in the browser of anyone who views the weblog. This matters when weblog authors are not trusted with script (weblogAdminsUntrusted=true, the default since 6.1.4). AtomPub is disabled by default. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later, which removes HTML characters from tag names, including names stored earlier. |
| Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Apache Roller 4.0 through 6.1.6 allows an unauthenticated visitor to recover the email addresses of people who left approved comments. The search index stored commenter email addresses, and the public weblog search accepted queries on that field, including wildcard queries that confirm an address one character at a time. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later and rebuild the search index. |
| Improper Authentication in Apache Roller 5.1.0 through 6.1.6 allows a user whose account an administrator has disabled to sign in again through OpenID and read unpublished entries. The OpenID sign-in path did not check whether the account was enabled. Only sites that enable the non-default OpenID authentication mode are affected; later major versions do not include OpenID 2.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later. |
| Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Apache Roller 4.0 through 6.1.6 allows a weblog administrator to store script that runs in the browsers of the weblog's visitors. Blogroll links imported from an OPML file were not checked, and the default theme printed them without escaping. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later, which accepts only web links on import and escapes them on output. |
| Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Apache Roller 4.0 through 6.1.6 allows any logged-in user to learn other users' email addresses. The user search in the authoring interface shows only user names, but it also matched the search text against email addresses, so a user could confirm an address one character at a time. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later, which matches only user names for users who are not administrators. |
| Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Apache Roller 4.0 through 6.1.6 allows a weblog administrator to read another user's stored password hash by authoring a custom weblog template that reaches the wrapped persistent object behind the template's weblog or entry data, rather than the reduced set of fields the wrapper is meant to expose. Roller treats weblog administrators as untrusted and exposes weblog and entry data to templates only through wrapper classes, but a public accessor on those wrapper classes returned the underlying persistent object directly, including the stored password hash of the weblog's creator and of any author whose entry renders on the page. No non-default configuration is required; this affects any weblog whose administrator can author templates. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later, which removes template access to the underlying wrapped objects. |
| Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference in Apache Roller 4.0 through 6.1.6 allows an authenticated user with no weblog permissions to read files readable by the Roller process and cause the server to issue outbound HTTP requests to attacker-chosen destinations, by submitting a crafted Atom entry to the AtomPub endpoint. The entry body is parsed with a parser configuration that permits external parameter entities and external DTD subsets, and the parse happens before any per-weblog authorization check and before any check of whether the AtomPub feature is enabled, so the endpoint is reachable by any authenticated account on a default installation. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later, which parses AtomPub entries with a hardened XML configuration and rejects AtomPub requests while the feature is disabled. |
| Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in the Planet feed aggregator administration of Apache Roller 4.0 through 6.1.6 allows an unauthenticated attacker to make the Roller server fetch a URL the attacker chooses, including internal addresses, by inducing a logged-in global administrator to open a crafted web page. The action that adds a Planet subscription can be triggered cross-site; in recent releases it accepts GET requests, which Roller's CSRF token check does not cover. The action fetches the supplied URL and saves the subscription, and any fetched content that parses as a feed is then published without authentication in the aggregated Planet feed. The Planet aggregator is enabled by default. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later, which requires POST requests with a valid CSRF token for Planet administration changes and turns the Planet aggregator off by default. |
| Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Apache Roller 6.1.6 allows an authenticated user with the Author role on a weblog that uses a custom theme to store script that runs in the browser of anyone who opens the file's resource URL. The fix for CVE-2026-82387 serves uploaded media as a download unless it is an image, audio, video, PDF or plain text, but media files found through a custom theme were served with the type their path implies, and the upload form let the uploader choose that path. Media uploads are disabled by default. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later, which serves these files under the same rules as other media and no longer accepts the path from the upload form. |
| Missing Authorization in Apache Roller 4.0 through 6.1.6 allows any logged-in user to read unpublished entries of a weblog they have no role in. The entry preview checked that the user was logged in, but not that the user had a role in the weblog being previewed. The attacker must know the weblog name and the entry's link name. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later, which requires a role in the weblog to preview its entries. |
| Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere in Apache Roller 4.0 through 6.1.6 allows an unauthenticated visitor to read an entry after its author has withdrawn it to draft through the AtomPub API. The entry was removed from the weblog but stayed in the search index, and public search showed its content. AtomPub is disabled by default. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later, which shows only published entries in search results. |
| Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in Apache Roller 5.0.1 through 6.1.6 allows an unauthenticated attacker to create an administrator account if a logged-in Roller administrator opens a link that the attacker controls. The request-token check applied only to POST requests, and administrative actions also accepted GET requests. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later, which requires POST and a valid token for actions that change data. |
| Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Apache Roller 6.1.2 through 6.1.6 allows a weblog administrator to store script that runs in the browsers of the weblog's members when they open their main menu. The HTML-stripping routine kept a tag that was not closed, and the main menu printed the weblog description without escaping. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later. |
| Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows a remote attacker to perform reflected cross-site scripting through the optional LDAP comment authenticator, which writes request parameter values into its HTML form without escaping. This affects only sites configured to use LdapCommentAuthenticator, and a victim whose session has already loaded the authenticator form must follow a crafted link. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which escapes the reflected values. |
| Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows an anonymous remote attacker to store a comment containing a javascript: URI link that survives HTML comment formatting and can execute script in the browser of a visitor who clicks it. This affects only sites that enable HTML in comments (users.comments.htmlenabled=true) together with the HTMLSubset comment formatter; comment moderation, where enabled, delays publication. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which restricts restored links to http, https and mailto URIs. |
| Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to store a crafted comment-author URL through the incoming Trackback endpoint when a published entry accepts comments and Trackbacks. The shipped Trackback, verification and moderation defaults allow the value to be approved and rendered as an active link; a visitor who clicks the link executes script in the weblog's origin. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which removes incoming Trackback support and suppresses non-HTTP(S) comment-author links. Users unable to upgrade should disable Trackbacks and remove untrusted Trackback comments. |
| Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows an attacker who captures a valid WSSE digest authentication header to replay it and gain the victim's AtomPub authority, because the authentication does not enforce nonce uniqueness or timestamp freshness. Only installations that enable the non-default AtomPub API with WSSE authentication and plaintext-compatible password storage are affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which removes WSSE as an AtomPub authentication method; existing installations configured for WSSE fail closed until an administrator explicitly selects a supported authentication method. |
| Incorrect Authorization in the OAuth 1.0a authorization endpoint of Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker who learns an outstanding request token for a configured site-wide consumer to bind that token to an arbitrary user account, including an administrator, by submitting an unsigned authorization request. The endpoint derives the authorizing identity from a request-supplied value rather than the authenticated session. Only installations that configure an OAuth 1.0a site-wide consumer are affected, and exploitation requires knowledge of one of its outstanding request tokens. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which binds authorization to the logged-in session. |
