Severity: Important
CVSS 3.1: 5.4 (medium) CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Affected versions:
- Apache Roller 6.1.5
Description:
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site
Scripting') in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows a user with authoring rights on a
weblog to store crafted content that is later written into the authoring UI's
JavaScript string literals and markup sinks without proper encoding, causing
the stored script to execute in another author's or administrator's browser. No
optional feature or non-default configuration is required; this affects weblogs
with multiple authors or administrators who are not mutually trusted. Users are
recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which moves those
values out of JavaScript literals and writes them as text.
