Java code
Severity: Important
Vendor:
The Apache Software Foundation
Versions Affected:
Roller 5.1.1

The unsupported pre-Roller 5.1 versions may also be affected
Description:
A Roller user with Admin-level access to a weblog can edit a weblog
page template and use special Velocity syntax to execute Java code on
the server.
Mitigation:
There are several ways you can fix this vulnerability:
1) Upgrade to the latest version of Roller, which is now 5.1.2.
2) Or, add the following line to Roller's velocity.properties file:
