Patch availableAuthorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in Apache Roller 6.1.5 allows an authenticated user with authoring rights on one weblog to read, modify, or delete resources belonging to another weblog through unscoped identifier-based lookups. This affects multi-user installations where users are intended to be isolated between weblogs; no optional feature or non-default configuration is required. A user with administrator rights on their weblog can also overwrite another weblog's Velocity template, whose content is evaluated when the victim weblog renders. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.6 or later, which scopes authoring resource lookups to the acting weblog.

The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
