CVE-2026-82348 is an authorization bypass (CWE-639) in Apache Roller 6.1.5 caused by unscoped identifier-based lookups. An authenticated user who already has authoring rights on one weblog can read, modify, or delete resources that belong to another weblog; no optional feature or non-default configuration is required. A user with administrator rights on their own weblog can also overwrite another weblog's Velocity template, and that template content is evaluated when the victim weblog renders. The issue affects multi-user installations where weblogs are meant to isolate users from each other. It is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept is known.

What to do: Upgrade Apache Roller to 6.1.6 or later, which scopes authoring resource lookups to the acting weblog. Until then, treat multi-user installs as exposed: limit who has authoring or weblog-admin rights, and review other weblogs' resources and Velocity templates for unexpected reads, edits, deletions, or overwrites.

Description · NVD

Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows an authenticated user with authoring rights on one weblog to read, modify, or delete resources belonging to another weblog through unscoped identifier-based lookups. This affects multi-user installations where users are intended to be isolated between weblogs; no optional feature or non-default configuration is required. A user with administrator rights on their weblog can also overwrite another weblog's Velocity template, whose content is evaluated when the victim weblog renders. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which scopes authoring resource lookups to the acting weblog.
