Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions DSpace version 7.0

Description DSpace is an open source turnkey repository application. In version 7.0, any community or collection administrator can escalate their permission up to become system administrator. This issue is patched in version 7.1. As a workaround, users of 7.0 may temporarily disable the ability for community or collection administrators to manage permissions or workflows settings.

Recommendations For DSpace version 7.0, temporarily disable the ability for community or collection administrators to manage permissions or workflows settings by setting the following properties in your local.cfg / dspace.cfg file: core.authorization.collection-admin.policies = false core.authorization.community-admin.policies = false core.authorization.community-admin.collection.workflows = false Once upgraded to 7.1, these settings can be safely reverted to the default values of true. Upgrade to DSpace version 7.1 at your earliest convenience.
