# Apache Roller: disabled accounts can sign in via OpenID and read drafts

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-118412 (this .md is for agents)

Apache Roller, a Java blogging server, did not check whether an account was disabled when signing in through OpenID. A disabled user can therefore log in again and read unpublished entries.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check whether OpenID authentication is enabled in the Roller configuration (non-default mode).
- Confirm the installed Roller version with the deployed WAR or package version; affected range is `5.1.0` through `6.1.6`.

## Fix

- Apache Roller: upgrade to `6.1.7` or later.

## Timeline

- 2026-11-11T13:27:11+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-118412

## From the sources

Improper Authentication in Apache Roller 5.1.0 through 6.1.6 allows a user whose account an administrator has disabled to sign in again through OpenID and read unpublished entries. The OpenID sign-in path did not check whether the account was enabled. Only sites that enable the non-default OpenID authentication mode are affected; later major versions do not include OpenID 2.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later.
