CVE-2026-49831
Published:July 08, 2026
Updated:August 27, 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.
