Vulnerabilities

The Goobi viewer is a web application that allows digitised material to be displayed in a web browser. A cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Goobi viewer core prior to version 23.03 when using nicknames. An attacker could create a user account and enter malicious scripts into their profile's nickname, resulting in the execution in the user's browser when displaying the nickname on certain pages. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 23.03.

In Goobi Viewer Core before version 4.8.3, a path traversal vulnerability allows for remote attackers to access files on the server via the application. This is limited to files accessible to the application server user, eg. tomcat, but can potentially lead to the disclosure of sensitive information. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 4.8.3
