Summary
The Goobi viewer, a web application for displaying digitised material in a browser, is affected, specifically its WebSocket endpoints in the goobi-viewer-core component. An unauthenticated attacker can connect to these endpoints and send forged messages, such as fake page locks that disrupt reviewers' crowdsourcing work.

Read the original description
The Goobi viewer is a web application that allows digitised material to be displayed in a web browser. From version 4.11.0 to before version 26.05, several Jakarta WebSocket endpoints in goobi-viewer-core (DownloadTaskEndpoint, CampaignEndpoint, AutocompleteEndpoint, UserEndpoint) accept connections without verifying that the associated HttpSession belongs to a logged-in user, and none validate the Origin header against an allowlist. An unauthenticated attacker can therefore connect to these endpoints; through CampaignEndpoint this allows polluting the in-process crowdsourcing page-lock map and broadcasting forged lock messages, disrupting reviewers' work. This issue has been patched in version 26.05.
