CVE-2026-82379: Apache Roller: WSSE digest authentication headers can be replayed

["David M. Johnson" <snoopdave () apache org>]

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

Affected versions:

- Apache Roller 6.1.5

Description:

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.
