CVE-2026-46347 Details
Description
The Goobi viewer is a web application that allows digitised material to be displayed in a web browser. Prior to version 26.05, when a password reset link is visited, the application generates a replacement password in a predictable way and emails it to the account holder. The insufficient entropy allows the password to be brute-forced by an attacker who can approximate the server-side generation time. Exploiting this finding in isolation requires the victim to have triggered the reset themselves and the attacker to infer the server time from network or email metadata. This issue has been patched in version 26.05.
A vulnerability in Goobi Viewer versions prior to 26.05 allows for predictable password generation during the password reset process. This predictability, combined with insufficient entropy, enables an attacker to brute-force the replacement password and gain unauthorized access to the victim's account. Exploitation requires the victim to have initiated the password reset and for the attacker to estimate the server's password generation time based on network or email metadata. This vulnerability has been patched in version 26.05.
Users can update to Goobi Viewer version 26.05 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. Instructions for downloading the latest version are available on the Goobi Viewer GitHub repository.
