How to fix

Fixed in: Apache Roller 6.1.7

Technical details

The vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in the OPML import function and blogroll display logic. Blogroll links imported from OPML files were not validated, and templates printed them without HTML escaping, allowing an authenticated administrator to inject arbitrary JavaScript. The fix restricts OPML imports to accept only absolute http/https URLs and escapes URLs in template output through a whitelist of safe URL schemes.

Affected products

Apache Roller 4.0 through 6.1.6
