CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedDSpace open source software is vulnerable to local file inclusion due to inadequate URI scheme validation during the ingestion of aggregated ORE resources by URI, affecting versions prior to 7.6.7, 8.4, 9.3, and 10.0. An attacker with DSpace collection administrator privileges could exploit this vulnerability to access sensitive files, such as /etc/passwd. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to the patched releases to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
DSpace open source software is a repository application which provides durable access to digital resources. Prior to versions 7.6.7, 8.4, 9.3, and 10.0, when ingesting an aggregated ORE resource by URI (using the OAI-ORE Harvester), the ORE Ingestion Crosswalk does not validate the URI scheme. This may allow for local file inclusion via malicious paths like file:///etc/passwd. The attacker MUST already have DSpace collection administrator privileges in order to perform the attack. This issue has been patched in versions 7.6.7, 8.4, 9.3, and 10.0.
