Severity: Important
CVSS 3.1: 6.5 (medium) CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Affected versions:
- Apache Roller 6.1.5
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.
