Apache Roller 6.1.5 has an incorrect-authorization flaw (CWE-863) in its OAuth 1.0a authorization endpoint. An unauthenticated remote attacker who learns an outstanding request token for a configured site-wide consumer can submit an unsigned authorization request that binds that token to an arbitrary account, including an administrator, because the endpoint takes the authorizing identity from a request-supplied value instead of the authenticated session. A successful bind can let the attacker act as that user, with critical confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 9.0), though complexity is high because a live request token must be known. Only installations that configure an OAuth 1.0a site-wide consumer are affected. No public proof of concept is known and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

What to do: Upgrade Apache Roller to 6.1.6 or later, which binds OAuth authorization to the logged-in session. Until upgraded, do not configure an OAuth 1.0a site-wide consumer unless it is required, and review outstanding request tokens and any unexpected bindings to user or administrator accounts.

Description · NVD

Incorrect Authorization in the OAuth 1.0a authorization endpoint of Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker who learns an outstanding request token for a configured site-wide consumer to bind that token to an arbitrary user account, including an administrator, by submitting an unsigned authorization request. The endpoint derives the authorizing identity from a request-supplied value rather than the authenticated session. Only installations that configure an OAuth 1.0a site-wide consumer are affected, and exploitation requires knowledge of one of its outstanding request tokens. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which binds authorization to the logged-in session.
