AI-suggested
Users should upgrade to Apache Roller version 6.1.7 or later, where the AtomPub entries are parsed with a hardened XML configuration that prevents XXE attacks. Additionally, the AtomPub endpoint rejects requests when the feature is disabled, reducing the attack surface. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
CVE-2026-105153 is an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in Apache Roller versions 4.0 through 6.1.6. It allows any authenticated user, even without weblog permissions, to read files accessible by the Roller process and to cause the server to make outbound HTTP requests to attacker-controlled destinations. This occurs because the AtomPub endpoint parses Atom entries with an XML parser configuration that permits external entities and DTD subsets before authorization checks or feature enablement checks. The vulnerability is fixed in Apache Roller 6.1.7 and later, which use a hardened XML parser configuration and reject AtomPub requests when the feature is disabled.
