Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 25 Jun 2024, 17:07 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `org.dspace:dspace-server-webapp` (Maven): affected `>=7.0, <7.6.2`; fixed in `7.6.2`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> DSpace server webapp versions 7.0 through 7.6.1 (Maven org.dspace:dspace-server-webapp) are vulnerable to cross-site scripting when HTML, XML or JavaScript bitstreams are downloaded and the browser runs embedded scripts. An attacker needs Submitter privileges to upload the file, and the script runs when a visitor or logged-in user downloads it or follows a shared link. Upgrade to 7.6.2 or 8.0; on 7.6 or 7.6.1, setting webui.content_disposition_format in dspace.cfg blocks the attack.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-94cc-xjxr-pwvf>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
