# Apache Roller: weblog admins can store scripts that run for members

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-118414 (this .md is for agents)

Apache Roller 6.1.2 through 6.1.6 strips HTML from weblog descriptions but keeps an unclosed tag, and the main menu prints the description without escaping. A weblog administrator can store script that runs in the browsers of the weblog's members when they open the main menu.

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

## How to check

- Check the Apache Roller version in the deployed application, for example in the WAR file name or the release used to build it
- Confirm whether the installed version is within `6.1.2` 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-2026-118414

## From the sources

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Apache Roller 6.1.2 through 6.1.6 allows a weblog administrator to store script that runs in the browsers of the weblog's members when they open their main menu. The HTML-stripping routine kept a tag that was not closed, and the main menu printed the weblog description without escaping. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Roller 6.1.7 or later.
