DSpace 6.3 contains security fixes for the JSPUI (only). To ensure your 6.x JSPUI site is secure, we highly recommend ALL JSPUI DSpace 6.x users upgrade to DSpace 6.3 DSpace 6.x XMLUI users may also wish to upgrade as several major bugs have been fixed in the XMLUI as well. DSpace 6.3 upgrade instructions are available at: Upgrading DSpace |

Summary
DSpace 6.3 is a bug fix release to resolve several issues located in previous 6.x releases. As it only provides only bug fixes, DSpace 6.3 should constitute an easy upgrade from DSpace 6.x for most users. No database changes should be necessary when upgrading from DSpace 6.x to 6.3. One configuration addition (orcid.api.url
property) has been made to the default dspace.cfg to support the new ORCID API v2, for ORCID Authority Control users.
JSPUI security fixes include
[HIGH SEVERITY] A user can inject malicious Javascript into the names of EPeople or Groups. This is most severe in sites which allow anyone to register for a new account. (https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3866 - requires a JIRA account to access.)
Reported by Julio Brafman
[MEDIUM SEVERITY] Any user was able to export metadata to CSV format if they knew the correct JSPUI path/parameters. Additionally, the exported CSV included metadata fields which are flagged as hidden in configuration. (https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3840 - requires a JIRA account to access.)
Reported by Eike Kleiner (ZHAW, Zurich University of Applied Sciences)
Major bug fixes include
- Update DSpace ORCID Integration to use ORCID API v2 (instead of now obsolete ORCID v1): DS-3447
- Update DSpace Statistics to use GeoIP API v2 (instead of now discontinued GeoIP API v1): DS-3832

- Fixed issues where Bitstreams were not being removed from assetstore even when flagged as deleted: DS-3627 and DS-3461

- Fixed issues where Bitstreams were removed from all versions of an Item (resulting in inaccurate versioning) when deleted from the latest version of an Item: DS-3627
- Note: This issue was limited to 6.0, 6.1 or 6.2, and specifically ONLY occurred when Item Level Versioning was first enabled on DSpace version 4.x or 5.x (and that old versioning data had since been migrated to 6.x).
