CVE-2026-82384 Details
Description
Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause deserialization of attacker-controlled bytes, because the XML-RPC endpoint accepts vendor extension types that are deserialized during request parsing, before authentication. The servlet is mapped unconditionally, so parsing occurs even when the global XML-RPC feature is set to disabled; no non-default configuration is required for this path. This can lead to remote code execution. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which disables the extension types and rejects requests when the XML-RPC feature is disabled.
A deserialization vulnerability has been identified in Apache Roller version 6.1.5. This issue allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to manipulate the deserialization process by sending attacker-controlled data through the XML-RPC endpoint. The vulnerability arises because the endpoint accepts vendor extension types that are deserialized during request processing, prior to any authentication checks. Notably, the XML-RPC servlet is always active, even if the global XML-RPC feature is disabled, and no special configuration is needed to exploit this issue. The deserialization flaw could be exploited to execute remote code on the server.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Roller version 6.1.6 or later, which disables the vulnerable extension types and properly handles requests when the XML-RPC feature is turned off.
