CVE-2024-25090Network attack vector

Stored XSS via unsanitized profile and bookmark fields

Published Jul 26, 2024 · Updated Mar 14, 2025

Stored XSS in Apache Roller 5.0.0 through 6.1.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute script in another user's browser. Profile name and screenname plus bookmark and blogroll name and description fields store attacker-supplied markup and render it without validation or sanitization. Exploitation requires untrusted-user access and a viewer to open affected content; resulting script runs in that viewer's Roller origin.
