An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-31194 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.dspace:dspace-jspui (Maven): affected from 4.0; fixed in 5.11\n- org.dspace:dspace-jspui (Maven): affected from 4.0; fixed in 5.11\n- org.dspace:dspace-jspui (Maven): affected from 6.0; fixed in 6.4\n- org.dspace:dspace-jspui (Maven): affected from 6.0; fixed in 6.4\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31194/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31194/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-31194","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31194/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-31194","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qp5m-c3m9-8q2p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"DSpace repository application","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated submitters can exploit path traversal in DSpace JSPUI to create files or directories anywhere on the server writable by the application user.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"dspace","vendor":"duraspace"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"DSpace open source software is a repository application which provides durable access to digital resources. dspace-jspui is a UI component for DSpace. The JSPUI resumable upload implementations in SubmissionController and FileUploadRequest are vulnerable to multiple path traversal attacks, allowing an attacker to create files/directories anywhere on the server writable by the Tomcat/DSpace user, by modifying some request parameters during submission. This path traversal can only be executed by a user with special privileges (submitter rights). This vulnerability only impacts the JSPUI. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds. However, this vulnerability cannot be exploited by an anonymous user or a basic user. The user must first have submitter privileges to at least one Collection and be able to determine how to modify the request parameters to exploit the vulnerability.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-08-19","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-08-19T06:30:16Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/shoucheng3/DSpace__DSpace_CVE-2022-31194_5-10","stars":0,"title":null}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Path traversal vulnerabilities in DSpace JSPUI submission upload","id":"CVE-2022-31194","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2022"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal vulnerability in Simple Archive Format package import in DSpace","id":"CVE-2022-31195"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["5.11"],"introduced":["4.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.dspace:dspace-jspui","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-qp5m-c3m9-8q2p"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["5.11"],"introduced":["4.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.dspace:dspace-jspui","purl":"pkg:maven/org.dspace/dspace-jspui","source":"GHSA-qp5m-c3m9-8q2p"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["6.4"],"introduced":["6.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.dspace:dspace-jspui","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-qp5m-c3m9-8q2p"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["6.4"],"introduced":["6.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.dspace:dspace-jspui","purl":"pkg:maven/org.dspace/dspace-jspui","source":"GHSA-qp5m-c3m9-8q2p"}],"prev":{"headline":"URL Redirection to Untrusted Site in Dspace JSPUI","id":"CVE-2022-31193"},"products":["DSpace"],"published":"2022-08-01","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"High severity vulnerability that affects org.dspace:dspace-xmlui","id":"CVE-2016-10726","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-10"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Path traversal vulnerability in Simple Archive Format package import in DSpace","id":"CVE-2022-31195","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-01"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Communities and collections administrators can escalate their privilege up to system administrator","id":"CVE-2021-41189","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-29"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Cross Site Scripting possible in DSpace JSPUI spellcheck and autocomplete tools","id":"CVE-2022-31191","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-01"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Cross Site Scripting possible in DSpace JSPUI \"Request a Copy\" feature","id":"CVE-2022-31192","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-01"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"URL Redirection to Untrusted Site in Dspace JSPUI","id":"CVE-2022-31193","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-01"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-23","vendors":["DSpace"]},"summary":"Authenticated submitters can exploit path traversal in DSpace JSPUI to create files or directories anywhere on the server writable by the application user.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31194/"}
