Machine-written summary

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

DSpace (org.dspace:dspace-api) versions before 7.6.4, from 8.0 before 8.2, and from 9.0 before 9.1 are vulnerable to path traversal during Simple Archive Format imports. An attacker who can get an administrator to import a crafted package could read files readable by the Tomcat user, such as local files and configuration. Upgrade to 7.6.4, 8.2, or 9.1; the source offers no workaround beyond carefully inspecting SAF archives before import.
