CVE-2026-82383 Details
Description
Missing Authentication for Critical Function in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to persistently change a site-global configuration value (the frontpage weblog selection) on any installed instance, because the setup action remains anonymously reachable after installation and persists configuration without an authorization check. No optional feature or non-default configuration is required; the result can redirect or break the site's public frontpage, with administrative recovery available. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which restricts the write to global administrators.
A vulnerability in Apache Roller version 6.1.5 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to persistently alter a site-global configuration value, specifically the frontpage weblog selection. This issue arises because the setup action remains accessible without authentication after installation, enabling unauthorized changes that can disrupt the site's public frontpage. Although administrative recovery is possible, the vulnerability could redirect or break the frontpage's functionality.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Roller version 6.1.6 or later, which restricts the ability to change the frontpage selection to global administrators.
