| CVE-2022-50899 | Jan 13, 2026 |
GeoNetwork PDF XEE 3.10-4.2.0 - arbitrary file readGeonetwork 3.10 through 4.2.0 contains an XML external entity vulnerability in PDF rendering that allows attackers to retrieve arbitrary files from the server. Attackers can exploit the insecure XML parser by crafting a malicious XML document with external entity references to read system files through the baseURL parameter in PDF creation requests. |
|
| CVE-2025-58360 | Nov 25, 2025 |
GeoServer XXE via GetMap XML (2.26.02.26.1)GeoServer is an open source server that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. From version 2.26.0 to before 2.26.2 and before 2.25.6, an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability was identified. The application accepts XML input through a specific endpoint /geoserver/wms operation GetMap. However, this input is not sufficiently sanitized or restricted, allowing an attacker to define external entities within the XML request. This issue has been patched in GeoServer 2.25.6, GeoServer 2.26.3, and GeoServer 2.27.0. |
|
| CVE-2024-29198 | Jun 10, 2025 |
GeoServer SSRF via Demo request endpoint – fixed in 2.24.4/2.25.2GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. It possible to achieve Service Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via the Demo request endpoint if Proxy Base URL has not been set. Upgrading to GeoServer 2.24.4, or 2.25.2, removes the TestWfsPost servlet resolving this issue. |

| CVE-2025-29480 | Apr 07, 2025 |
GDAL 3.10.2 Buffer Overflow in OGRSpatialReference::ReleaseBuffer Overflow vulnerability in gdal 3.10.2 allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service via the OGRSpatialReference::Release function. NOTE: the Supplier indicates that the report is invalid and could not be reproduced. |
|
| CVE-2024-23818 | Mar 20, 2024 |
Stored XSS in GeoServer WMS OpenLayers Output 2.23.2 / 2.24.0GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in versions prior to 2.23.3 and 2.24.1 that enables an authenticated administrator with workspace-level privileges to store a JavaScript payload in the GeoServer catalog that will execute in the context of another user's browser when viewed in the WMS GetMap OpenLayers Output Format. Access to the WMS OpenLayers Format is available to all users by default although data and service security may limit users' ability to trigger the XSS. Versions 2.23.3 and 2.24.1 contain a patch for this issue. |
|
| CVE-2024-23821 | Mar 20, 2024 |
GeoServer GWC Demos XSS before 2.23.4 & 2.24.1GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in versions prior to 2.23.4 and 2.24.1 that enables an authenticated administrator with workspace-level privileges to store a JavaScript payload in the GeoServer catalog that will execute in the context of another user's browser when viewed in the GWC Demos Page. Access to the GWC Demos Page is available to all users although data security may limit users' ability to trigger the XSS. Versions 2.23.4 and 2.24.1 contain a patch for this issue. |
|
| CVE-2023-41339 | Oct 25, 2023 |
GeoServer WMS URL SSRF (before 2.22.5/2.23.2)GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. The WMS specification defines an ``sld=<url>`` parameter for GetMap, GetLegendGraphic and GetFeatureInfo operations for user supplied "dynamic styling". Enabling the use of dynamic styles, without also configuring URL checks, provides the opportunity for Service Side Request Forgery. This vulnerability can be used to steal user NetNTLMv2 hashes which could be relayed or cracked externally to gain further access. This vulnerability has been patched in versions 2.22.5 and 2.23.2. |
|
| CVE-2023-43795 | Oct 25, 2023 |
GeoServer < 2.22.5 / 2.23.2: ServerSide Request Forgery via WPS GET/POSTGeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. The OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) specification is designed to process information from any server using GET and POST requests. This presents the opportunity for Server Side Request Forgery. This vulnerability has been patched in version 2.22.5 and 2.23.2. |
|
| CVE-2023-27476 | Mar 08, 2023 |
OWSLib Python XML Parser File Read via Entity Before 0.28.1OWSLib is a Python package for client programming with Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) web service interface standards, and their related content models. OWSLib's XML parser (which supports both `lxml` and `xml.etree`) does not disable entity resolution, and could lead to arbitrary file reads from an attacker-controlled XML payload. This affects all XML parsing in the codebase. This issue has been addressed in version 0.28.1. All users are advised to upgrade. The only known workaround is to patch the library manually. See `GHSA-8h9c-r582-mggc` for details. |
|
| CVE-2023-26043 | Feb 27, 2023 |
XXE in GeoServer Style Upload Allowing Arbitrary File Read (fixed v4.0.3)GeoNode is an open source platform that facilitates the creation, sharing, and collaborative use of geospatial data. GeoNode is vulnerable to an XML External Entity (XXE) injection in the style upload functionality of GeoServer leading to Arbitrary File Read. This issue has been patched in version 4.0.3. |
|
| CVE-2023-25157 | Feb 21, 2023 |
GeoServer 2.x CQL encode misuse (strEndsWith/strStartsWith)GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. GeoServer includes support for the OGC Filter expression language and the OGC Common Query Language (CQL) as part of the Web Feature Service (WFS) and Web Map Service (WMS) protocols. CQL is also supported through the Web Coverage Service (WCS) protocol for ImageMosaic coverages. Users are advised to upgrade to either version 2.21.4, or version 2.22.2 to resolve this issue. Users unable to upgrade should disable the PostGIS Datastore *encode functions* setting to mitigate ``strEndsWith``, ``strStartsWith`` and ``PropertyIsLike `` misuse and enable the PostGIS DataStore *preparedStatements* setting to mitigate the ``FeatureId`` misuse. |

| CVE-2021-28398 | Sep 05, 2022 |
Remote CMD Exec via GeoNetwork Harvester before 3.12.0/4.0.4A privileged attacker in GeoNetwork before 3.12.0 and 4.x before 4.0.4 can use the directory harvester before-script to execute arbitrary OS commands remotely on the hosting infrastructure. A User Administrator or Administrator account is required to perform this. This occurs in the runBeforeScript method in harvesters/src/main/java/org/fao/geonet/kernel/harvest/harvester/localfilesystem/LocalFilesystemHarvester.java. The earliest affected version is 3.4.0. |
|
| CVE-2021-40822 | May 02, 2022 |
GeoServer through 2.18.5 and 2.19.x through 2.19.2GeoServer through 2.18.5 and 2.19.x through 2.19.2 allows SSRF via the option for setting a proxy host. |

| CVE-2022-24847 | Apr 13, 2022 |
GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial dataGeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. The GeoServer security mechanism can perform an unchecked JNDI lookup, which in turn can be used to perform class deserialization and result in arbitrary code execution. The same can happen while configuring data stores with data sources located in JNDI, or while setting up the disk quota mechanism. In order to perform any of the above changes, the attack needs to have obtained admin rights and use either the GeoServer GUI, or its REST API. The lookups are going to be restricted in GeoServer 2.21.0, 2.20.4, 1.19.6. Users unable to upgrade should restrict access to the `geoserver/web` and `geoserver/rest` via a firewall and ensure that the GeoWebCache is not remotely accessible. |
