How to fix?

There is no fixed version for islandora/crayfish.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') via the X-Islandora-Args header. An attacker can execute arbitrary code on the server by sending a crafted request containing malicious input in this header.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the microservice is directly accessible from the Internet.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by preventing general access from the Internet from hitting Hypercube and ensuring that the microservice is behind a firewall. Additionally, validating the structure of headers passed to the webserver can further reduce the risk if the endpoint is publicly exposed.
