Summary
Goobi viewer (intranda goobi-viewer-core) from 25.01 before 26.05 does not enforce the JWT aud claim when verifying OpenID tokens. A later manual check compares only single-string aud values, so a token issued for another relying party passes. An unauthenticated remote attacker with such a token can log in as the token's subject in multi-relying-party setups (CWE-287).

Description from the CNA
The Goobi viewer is a web application that allows digitised material to be displayed in a web browser. From version 25.01 to before version 26.05, AuthenticationEndpoint.verifyOpenIdToken builds its verifier as JWT.require(algorithm).withIssuer(issuer).build() and does not enforce the aud claim during cryptographic validation. The aud check is performed manually afterwards via a single string-equality call, which only handles single-string aud values. In a multi-RP IdP setup, a token whose single-string aud matches the viewer's client ID but was issued for a different relying party passes the check and authenticates the attacker as the token's sub. This issue has been patched in version 26.05.
