CVE-2026-49831: DSpace has a possible Path Traversal Vulnerability in its Curation Task Reporter output path

July 8, 2026

The ability to overwrite a file in /dspace/config or /dspace/bin is not desired, and could result in a denial of service attack. To actually use the curation reporter to perform an attack that escalates privileges, either a custom curation task would be needed (these can only be deployed by a system administrator), or the output would have to contain some executable information that is combined with other attacks, as a way to provide a payload in a local path.
