CVE-2026-82378: Apache Roller: OAuth authorization endpoint trusts request-supplied identity
From: "David M. Johnson" <snoopdave () apache org>
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 20:12:42 +0000
Severity: Moderate
CVSS 3.1: 9.0 (critical) CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Affected versions:
- Apache Roller 6.1.5
Description:
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.
