How to fix?

Upgrade com.vaadin:vaadin-server to version 8.32.2 or higher.

Overview

com.vaadin:vaadin-server is a Java framework for modern Java web applications.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Locking due to the improper release of a session lock in the VaadinService.requestEnd process when handling a non-numeric v-uiId request parameter. An attacker can cause the application to become unresponsive by sending requests with a malformed v-uiId value, which leads to session locks not being released and eventually exhausts the server's thread pool. No authentication is required, as a session cookie can be obtained with a single request.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by rejecting requests whose v-uiId parameter is not an integer before they are handled, by overriding VaadinServlet.service() and responding with a 400 status for such requests.
