Machine-written summary

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

DSpace (org.dspace:dspace-api, Maven) versions before 7.6.4, 8.0 through 8.1, and 9.0 are affected by XML External Entity injection when parsing archives in the Simple Archive Format and when parsing responses from external import services. An attacker who can supply a malicious archive that an administrator imports, or compromise an upstream service, could read local files or trigger requests to remote URLs. Upgrade to 7.6.4, 8.2, or 9.1; the source gives workarounds only as inspection of archives before import and disabling external services.
