CVE-2026-82375: Apache Roller: Server-side request forgery via entry trackback and enclosure URLs
Apache Roller 6.1.5 lets weblog editors trigger SSRF through trackback and enclosure URLs.
Authenticated SSRF in Apache Roller 6.1.5
Apache Roller 6.1.5 has a server-side request forgery flaw in legacy outbound Trackback handling and entry enclosure URL processing. An authenticated user who can edit weblog entries can trigger outbound HTTP requests to attacker-chosen destinations; the Trackback action remains reachable even though its control is hidden in the standard UI, and the default empty Trackback allow-list permits all destinations, including loopback and private-network addresses. Enclosure handling is relevant only when an author supplies an enclosure URL and reveals the response status, content type, and length. No non-default server configuration is required. The issue is not listed in CISA KEV and no public proof-of-concept is known; users should upgrade to 6.1.6 or later.
What to do: Upgrade Apache Roller to 6.1.6 or later, which removes the outbound Trackback action and stops dereferencing enclosure URLs. Until then, restrict entry-editing rights, block outbound requests from the Roller host to loopback and private networks, and review weblog entries for unexpected Trackback or enclosure URLs.

Order-of-magnitude estimate by the model from install counts, market share and public scan data it knows; verify before quoting.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows an authenticated user with entry-editing rights on a weblog to cause outbound HTTP requests to attacker-chosen destinations through legacy outbound Trackback and entry enclosure handling. The Trackback control is hidden in the standard UI, but its action remains directly reachable; the enclosure path is relevant only when an author supplies an enclosure URL. No non-default server configuration is required, and the default empty Trackback allow-list permits all destinations. Requests can reach loopback and private-network addresses, while enclosure handling exposes response status, content type, and length. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which removes the outbound trackback action and stops dereferencing enclosure URLs.
