{"id":"CVE-2022-31195","aliases":["GHSA-8rmh-55h4-93h5"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2022-31195","summary":"Path traversal vulnerability in Simple Archive Format package import in DSpace","details":"DSpace open source software is a repository application which provides durable access to digital resources. In affected versions the ItemImportServiceImpl is vulnerable to a path traversal vulnerability. This means a malicious SAF (simple archive format) package could cause a file/directory to be created anywhere the Tomcat/DSpace user can write to on the server. However, this path traversal vulnerability is only possible by a user with special privileges (either Administrators or someone with command-line access to the server). This vulnerability impacts the XMLUI, JSPUI and command-line. Users are advised to upgrade. As a basic workaround, users may block all access to the following URL paths: If you are using the XMLUI, block all access to /admin/batchimport path (this is the URL of the Admin Batch Import tool). Keep in mind, if your site uses the path \"/xmlui\", then you'd need to block access to /xmlui/admin/batchimport. If you are using the JSPUI, block all access to /dspace-admin/batchimport path (this is the URL of the Admin Batch Import tool). Keep in mind, if your site uses the path \"/jspui\", then you'd need to block access to /jspui/dspace-admin/batchimport. Keep in mind, only an Administrative user or a user with command-line access to the server is able to import/upload SAF packages. Therefore, assuming those users do not blindly upload untrusted SAF packages, then it is unlikely your site could be impacted by this vulnerability.","published":"2022-08-01T20:35:11Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:17.926361315Z","cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":{"score":0.01376,"percentile":0.69547,"asOf":"2026-08-23"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.dspace:dspace-api","fixedVersion":"5.11"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.dspace:dspace-api","fixedVersion":"6.4"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/commit/56e76049185bbd87c994128a9d77735ad7af0199","label":"DSpace/DSpace@56e7604"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/31xxx/CVE-2022-31195.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/security/advisories/GHSA-8rmh-55h4-93h5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-31195"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/commit/56e76049185bbd87c994128a9d77735ad7af0199"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/commit/7af52a0883a9dbc475cf3001f04ed11b24c8a4c0"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:17.926361315Z"}}
