DSpace contains a possible remote code execution vulnerability in its handling of Velocity templates used for COAR Notify/Linked Data Notifications (LDN) messages. According to the provided advisory, an attacker with DSpace administrator credentials may be able to execute Java code directly from Velocity templates via reflection. The issue is especially dangerous when chained with the related LDN path traversal issue, which can expand reachable attack paths. The vulnerable condition is tied to template processing in the COAR Notify/LDN functionality rather than general unauthenticated request handling.
