> --------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: DS-304
>                 URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-304
>             Project: DSpace 1.x
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: XMLUI
>    Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2
>            Reporter: Kim Shepherd
>            Priority: Minor
>
> (apologies if this is a duplicate, I couldn't find any related issues, though 
> I know the OAI interface has been under similar scrunity)
> By default, XMLUI will generate and send METS metadata for a DSO if the URL 
> pattern matches: metadata/handle/*/*/**
> Item/collection/community authorisations are not checked by 
> DSpaceMETSGenerator first, which means that items with no anonymous READ 
> access, items with [Harvard/MIT-style] embargos applied, etc. are still 
> ultimately exposing metadata to users and machines who know who to take 
> advantage of this bug.
> I am not sure whether this should be handled by patching DSpaceMETSGenerator 
> or disabling the pattern match in sitemap.xmap by default and documenting its 
> behaviour thoroughly, so admins can enable it once they are sure they are 
> happy with unrestricted metadata access.
> I can't promise these URLs will remain live/relevant forever, but you can 
> quickly replicate this bug by viewing:
> http://www.anonymous.org.nz:8180/handle/123456789/23
> http://www.anonymous.org.nz:8180/metadata/handle/123456789/23/mets.xml
> Any comments/suggestions?
