GHSA-C558-5GFM-P2R8

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-08-06 05:46 – Updated: 2022-08-11 17:04

Summary

JSPUI spellcheck and autocomplete tools vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting

Details

Impact

The JSPUI spellcheck "Did you mean" HTML escapes the data-spell attribute in the link, but not the actual displayed text. Similarly, the JSPUI autocomplete HTML does not properly escape text passed to it. Both are vulnerable to XSS. This vulnerability only impacts the JSPUI.

This vulnerability does NOT impact the XMLUI or 7.x.

Patches

Apply the patch to your DSpace

If at all possible, we recommend upgrading your DSpace site based on the upgrade instructions. However, if you are unable to do so, you can manually apply the above patches as follows: 1. Download the appropriate patch file to the machine where DSpace is running 2. From the [dspace-src] folder, apply the patch, e.g. git apply [name-of-file].patch 3. Now, update your DSpace site (based loosely on the Upgrade instructions). This generally involves three steps: 1. Rebuild DSpace, e.g. mvn -U clean package (This will recompile all DSpace code) 2. Redeploy DSpace, e.g. ant update (This will copy all updated WARs / configs to your installation directory). Depending on your setup you also may need to copy the updated WARs over to your Tomcat webapps folder. 3. Restart Tomcat

CVE-2022-31191 (GCVE-0-2022-31191)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-08-01 20:30 – Updated: 2025-04-23 17:55

Title

Cross Site Scripting possible in DSpace JSPUI spellcheck and autocomplete tools

Summary

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 spellcheck "Did you mean" HTML escapes the data-spell attribute in the link, but not the actual displayed text. Similarly, the JSPUI autocomplete HTML does not properly escape text passed to it. Both are vulnerable to XSS. This vulnerability only impacts the JSPUI. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
