DSpace open source software is a repository application which provides durable access to digital resources. From versions 8.0-rc1 to before 8.4, 9.0-rc1 to before 9.3, and 10-rc1 to before 10.0, a path traversal vulnerability is possible via the COAR Notify / LDN service in DSpace. The attacker MUST already have DSpace administrator credentials in order to perform the attack. When reading a file input stream of an "inbound pattern" / "template", used to generate an LDN message, the LDN class does not check for path traversal or restrict the templates to a known base path. This could allow an untrusted file from elsewhere in the file system (e.g. an export log, a bitstream path, a temporary file) to be read and interpreted as an Apache Velocity template. This issue has been patched in versions 8.4, 9.3, and 10.0.
CVE-2026-49833
“—” beside the score: it is equal to the CVSS score beside it.
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.5 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.4% (29th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). No GitHub Security Advisory CVSS is on record for this CVE.

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score: it fuses intrinsic severity with real-world exploitation and automatability so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner. Distinct from the 0–10 EG Score (severity).

Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact partial (CISA Vulnrichment). All three are CISA's SSVC values (Vulnrichment). EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Data Freshness Timeline
(refreshed 11× in last 7d / 31× in last 30d)
Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures).
