SCA: security update for org.dspace:dspace-api (GHSA-9qm4-rh6w-pq5x)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444531

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- DSpace open source software is a repository application which provides durable access to digital
resources. From versions 8.0-rc1 to before 8.4, 9.0-rc1 to before 9.3, and 10-rc1 to before 10.0, a path
traversal vulnerability is possible via the COAR Notify / LDN service in DSpace. The attacker MUST already
have DSpace administrator credentials in order to perform the attack. When reading a file input stream of
an "inbound pattern" / "template", used to generate an LDN message, the LDN class does not check for path
traversal or restrict the templates to a known base path. This could allow an untrusted file from
elsewhere in the file system (e.g. an export log, a bitstream path, a temporary file) to be read and
interpreted as an Apache Velocity template. This issue has been patched in versions 8.4, 9.3, and 10.0.
(CVE-2026-49833)

Solution

Update the org.dspace:dspace-api library and its related packages to version 10.0 or later.
