# CVE-2026-55442: Goobi viewer: cleanUpQuery double-brace bypass allows arbitrary Solr local-param injection

- Also known as: EUVD-2026-109084, GHSA-2R24-QXPF-CJ65
- Severity: CVSS 5.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial

## Summary

Goobi viewer, a web application for displaying digitised materials in a browser, is affected. Its shared query sanitizer can be bypassed with doubled curly braces, letting user input pass unfiltered Solr local parameters to the search backend, which can alter how searches are processed.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- intranda goobi-viewer-core: from 23.03, fixed in 26.05

## Description

The Goobi viewer is a web application that allows digitised material to be displayed in a web browser. From version 23.03 to before version 26.05, SolrTools.cleanUpQuery() strips Solr local-parameter syntax ({!...}) from user-supplied query strings before they reach Solr. Its regex can be bypassed by wrapping the local parameter in a second pair of curly braces ({{!...}}): the outer braces are stripped, the inner {!...} survives intact, and a valid Solr local parameter is forwarded. The flaw is in the shared sanitizer, so it affects any endpoint that routes user input through cleanUpQuery. The double-brace bypass applies from v23.10 (the greedy \{(.+)\} regex); a related bare-!join rewrap path is present. This issue has been patched in version 26.05.
