Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in DSpace JSPUI 6.5 within the search/discover filtering component. The flaw is caused by improper sanitization and encoding of user-supplied input provided through the 'filter_type_1' parameter. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious URL containing a JavaScript payload (e.g., using an autofocus input with an onfocus event). When a victim visits the link, the payload executes in their browser context, potentially allowing for session hijacking or DOM manipulation. A proof-of-concept has been publicly disclosed.
