Technical details

Four Jakarta WebSocket endpoints (DownloadTaskEndpoint, CampaignEndpoint, AutocompleteEndpoint, UserEndpoint) in goobi-viewer-core lack authentication checks on session cookies and do not validate the Origin header against an allowlist. An unauthenticated attacker can connect over the network to these endpoints; the CampaignEndpoint is particularly dangerous as it allows manipulation of the in-process page-lock map and injection of forged lock state messages.
