Security issue - upgrade action required for 2.28 and older versions

Hi all,

a potential serious security issue has been discovered with one of the libraries used by DHIS 2. The issue can potentially allow attackers to write or copy files to disk in arbitrary locations. The attacker needs to be logged in to DHIS 2 (authenticated) to do this.

The affected versions are DHIS 2.28 and older.

We have patched the following versions: 2.25, 2.26, 2.27, 2.28.

We recommend that you upgrade to the latest build of the mentioned releases if you are affected. We won’t disclose more info about this issue on the public mailing list.

best,

Lars
