Answer in brief
CVE-2026-49831 records a Medium severity (CVSS 5.5) vulnerability in DSpace: Curation Task Reporter output path is not restricted to trusted directories (Path Traversal Vulnerability). The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps DSpace/DSpace (generic), org.dspace:dspace-api (maven), org.dspace:dspace-api (maven), org.dspace:dspace-api (maven) and additional mapped packages. Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

DSpace open source software is a repository application which provides durable access to digital resources. Prior to versions 7.6.7, 8.4, 9.3, and 10.0, the Curation Task feature allows an output path to be used by the reporter (-r parameter), typically used to stream results and status of curation task operations. It is not restricted to any particular base path, meaning that any path writable by the DSpace (often 'tomcat') user is allowed. This constitutes a Path Traversal Vulnerability in the curate script. This issue has been patched in versions 7.6.7, 8.4, 9.3, and 10.0.
