Summary

Apache Roller has a flaw where its XML-RPC client, when sending a weblog update ping, unsafely deserializes Java object data in the ping target's response. An attacker who controls that response can run code on the Roller server.

Written by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5 from the sources below. Verify against them.

Read the original description

Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache Roller. When Roller sends a weblog update ping, its XML-RPC client deserializes Java object data contained in the ping target's response, so a party that controls that response can run code in the Roller server process. This issue affects Apache Roller from 4.0 through 6.1.6. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.1.7, which removes the unsafe deserialization.

Check your systems with an agent

Paste this into a coding or ops agent. It checks your systems read-only and reports a table per asset.

Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-123374 (Apache Roller: Deserialization of untrusted data in weblog update ping responses), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-123374 (entry last updated 2026-11-11):
Affected:
- Apache Software Foundation Apache Roller: from 4.0, through 6.1.6
Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-123374 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-123374 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://lists.apache.org/thread/577orljt8673gcvcv6nvwo2tnvykyxmt
- https://github.com/apache/roller/pull/236
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
