Severity: Important
CVSS 3.1: 6.1 (medium) CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Affected versions:
- Apache Roller 6.1.5
Description:
Improper neutralization of input in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows an anonymous
remote attacker to store a crafted comment-author URL that can execute script
in the session of a weblog moderator or global administrator when the comment
management page is viewed. This affects sites that permit comments on at least
one weblog and whose moderator subsequently reviews the submitted comment; no
non-default server setting is required. Users are recommended to upgrade to
Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later.
