CVSS v3.1
5.3
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
DSpace versions prior to 6.4
Description
When an "Internal System Error" occurs in the JSPUI, the entire exception, including the stack trace, is available. Information in this stacktrace may be useful to an attacker in launching a more sophisticated attack. This issue only impacts the JSPUI.
Recommendations
For DSpace 6.x, upgrade to version 6.4 or apply the patch file manually.
For DSpace 5.x, apply the 6.x patch file or disable the display of error messages in the internal.jsp file by setting the returned exception to "null" at all times.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the display of error messages in the internal.jsp file until a patch is available.
