CVE-2025-61190 identifies a reflected XSS vulnerability in DSpace JSPUI 6.5. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input sanitization of the filter_type_1 parameter in the search/discover filtering feature. This flaw allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts that are reflected back to the user, potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts. The CVSS vector indicates the attack can be performed remotely without privileges but requires user interaction. No known exploits are reported, and no official patch or fix information is available at this time.

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser session, potentially leading to disclosure of sensitive information or manipulation of user interactions. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact reported.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should exercise caution when interacting with the search/discover filtering functionality and consider applying web application firewall rules to detect and block suspicious input patterns targeting the filter_type_1 parameter.
