This is an updated version of the 7.2 release which includes a security update for CVE-2022-22965 (Spring4Shell critical vulnerability). It is fully compatible with the DSpace 7.2 Frontend dspace-7.2 release.
⚠️ We highly recommend ALL users of DSpace 7.2 upgrade your backend to 7.2.1 (or later) to resolve CVE-2022-22965. If you cannot upgrade immediately or are running 7.1 or 7.0, then you should apply one of the patches or workarounds detailed in #8231
This DSpace Backend does not have a user friendly interface. Therefore, we highly recommend installing the DSpace 7 Frontend dspace-7.2 release to use with this Backend. Please note that the Frontend and Backend do not need to be installed on the same machine. (Note: it is also possible to run this Backend "headless" if you only want to use the DSpace REST API)
Download links for the Backend are available below (see Assets). You may alternatively choose to checkout the code via GitHub, using the dspace-7.2.1 tag.
