Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Apache Software Foundation
Product: Apache Roller

Description

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows a weblog administrator to read files on the application classpath, including Roller configuration files containing secrets, by authoring a Velocity template that uses an include directive to load a classpath resource outside the theme namespace. Roller treats weblog administrators as untrusted and enables a Velocity sandbox, but the include and parse directives are not confined by it. No non-default configuration is required; this affects any weblog whose administrator can author templates. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which confines includes to the active theme and removes classpath resource loading from weblog rendering.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-82385 is an information exposure vulnerability in Apache Roller version 6.1.5. It arises from insufficient sandboxing of Velocity template include and parse directives, allowing a weblog administrator to read arbitrary files on the application classpath, including sensitive configuration files containing secrets. The vulnerability does not require any special configuration and affects any weblog where the administrator can author templates. The issue is resolved in Apache Roller 6.1.6 and later by confining includes to the active theme and disabling classpath resource loading during weblog rendering.

Potential Impact

An attacker with weblog administrator privileges can read sensitive files on the application classpath, potentially exposing secrets such as configuration data. This could lead to information disclosure but does not directly impact integrity or availability. The vulnerability requires the attacker to have weblog administrator access, which is a limited privilege level.

Mitigation Recommendations

Users should upgrade to Apache Roller version 6.1.6 or later, which confines Velocity template includes to the active theme and removes the ability to load classpath resources during weblog rendering. This official fix addresses the vulnerability. No other configuration changes are required.
