Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. Multiple access control issues exist in dspace-api development versions. These issues include:

  • The SolrServiceResourceRestrictionPlugin doesn't check for dates on permissions, causing the embargoed items to be returned
  • Discovery ignores the PreAuthorize permissions check which should ensure the item cannot be returned, not even when it's embedded

Note: These issues only exist in unreleased/development versions of DSpace v7.0, and it does not impact any production releases outside of beta/preview releases.
