CVE-2026-82382 Details
Description
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 against a visitor to a weblog using the bundled frontpage theme, by supplying a crafted blog-directory parameter that the directory page reflects without proper escaping. This affects only weblogs that use the bundled frontpage theme, and a victim must follow a crafted link for the script to execute. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which validates and contextually escapes the reflected parameter.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Apache Roller version 6.1.5. This issue allows remote attackers to inject malicious scripts that are executed in the context of the victim's browser. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the blog-directory parameter, which is reflected on the directory page without adequate escaping. This issue only affects weblogs using the default frontpage theme, and exploitation requires the victim to click on a crafted link.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Roller version 6.1.6 or later, which addresses this vulnerability by validating and properly escaping the affected parameter.
