AI-suggested

Users should upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which removes WSSE as an AtomPub authentication method. Existing installations configured for WSSE will fail closed until an administrator explicitly selects a supported authentication method. This effectively mitigates the vulnerability.

Description

CVE-2026-82379 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in Apache Roller 6.1.5 affecting installations that enable the non-default AtomPub API with WSSE authentication and plaintext-compatible password storage. The flaw allows an attacker who captures a valid WSSE digest authentication header to replay it and gain the victim's AtomPub authority due to lack of nonce uniqueness and timestamp freshness enforcement. Apache Roller 6.1.6 and later remove WSSE as an AtomPub authentication method, mitigating this issue.
