AI-suggested
Users should upgrade to Apache Roller version 6.1.6 or later, which disables the vulnerable extension types and rejects XML-RPC requests when the feature is disabled. No non-default configuration is required to be vulnerable, so patching is strongly recommended.
Description
Apache Roller 6.1.5 contains a critical deserialization vulnerability in its XML-RPC endpoint that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to cause deserialization of attacker-controlled data. This occurs because the endpoint accepts vendor extension types that are deserialized before authentication, even if the XML-RPC feature is disabled globally. This flaw can lead to remote code execution. Upgrading to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later mitigates the issue by disabling these extension types and rejecting requests when XML-RPC is disabled.
