high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418230

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. dspace-jspui is a UI component for DSpace. The JSPUI resumable upload implementations in
SubmissionController and FileUploadRequest are vulnerable to multiple path traversal attacks, allowing an
attacker to create files/directories anywhere on the server writable by the Tomcat/DSpace user, by
modifying some request parameters during submission. This path traversal can only be executed by a user
with special privileges (submitter rights). This vulnerability only impacts the JSPUI. Users are advised
to upgrade. There are no known workarounds. However, this vulnerability cannot be exploited by an
anonymous user or a basic user. The user must first have submitter privileges to at least one Collection
and be able to determine how to modify the request parameters to exploit the vulnerability.
