Description

A missing authorization check in the Vaadin Spreadsheet component allows an authenticated user of an application that renders a spreadsheet to add or replace cell comments on a sheet that has protection enabled, including on cells that are locked. Writing a comment to a cell that does not exist yet also creates the row and the cell.

Users of affected versions should apply the following mitigation or upgrade. Releases that have fixed this issue include:
