Summary

Nextcloud Server, an open source cloud platform, has a vulnerability that allows a malicious user to delete any personal or global external storage, making it inaccessible to other users. The issue affects versions from 19.0.0 to 19.0.13.10, 20.0.14.15, 21.0.9.13, 22.2.10.14, 23.0.12.8, 24.0.12.5, 25.0.9, 26.0.4, and 27.0.1.

Risk Assessment

This threat could lead to loss of access to important data stored in external storage, impacting the organization's operational continuity. A malicious user could disrupt the work of other users and affect data integrity.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to the versions that contain patches, namely 25.0.9, 26.0.4, 27.0.1, and the corresponding Nextcloud Enterprise Server versions. Alternatively, the files_external app can be disabled, which will make the external storage inaccessible but retain configurations until a patched version is deployed.

Original NVD description (English source)

Nextcloud Server provides data storage for Nextcloud, an open source cloud platform. Starting in version 19.0.0 and prior to versions 19.0.13.10, 20.0.14.15, 21.0.9.13, 22.2.10.14, 23.0.12.8, 24.0.12.5, 25.0.9, 26.0.4, and 27.0.1, a malicious user could delete any personal or global external storage, making them inaccessible for everyone else as well. Nextcloud server versions 25.0.9, 26.0.4, and 27.0.1 and Nextcloud Enterprise Server versions 19.0.13.10, 20.0.14.15, 21.0.9.13, 22.2.10.14, 23.0.12.9, 24.0.12.5, 25.0.9, 26.0.4, and 27.0.1 contain a patch for this issue. As a workaround, disable app files_external. This also makes the external storage inaccessible but retains the configurations until a patched version has been deployed.
