CVE-2026-82348: Apache Roller: Cross-weblog resource tampering via unscoped authoring lookups


From: "David M. Johnson" <snoopdave () apache org>
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 20:16:37 +0000

Severity: Important 
    CVSS 3.1: 7.7 (high) CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L

Affected versions:

- Apache Roller 6.1.5

Description:

Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows an authenticated user with authoring 
rights on one weblog to read, modify, or delete resources belonging to another weblog through unscoped identifier-based 
lookups. This affects multi-user installations where users are intended to be isolated between weblogs; no optional 
feature or non-default configuration is required. A user with administrator rights on their weblog can also overwrite 
another weblog's Velocity template, whose content is evaluated when the victim weblog renders. Users are recommended to 
upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which scopes authoring resource lookups to the acting weblog.
