Overview

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the user comment feature of Goobi viewer core versions prior to 23.03. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on April 6, 2023, affecting the web application that allows digitised material to be displayed in a web browser (NVD, GitHub Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.1 MEDIUM (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N). The issue stems from insufficient escaping of user comment text in the web interface, which could allow injection of malicious script code (NVD).

Impact
