Nextcloud Server before 9.0.55 and 10.0.2 suffers from a Content-Spoofing vulnerability in the files app. The top navigation bar displayed in the files list contained partially user-controllable input leading to a potential misrepresentation of information.
Weakness
The user interface (UI) does not properly represent critical information to the user, allowing the information - or its source - to be obscured or spoofed. This is often a component in phishing attacks.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nextcloud | Nextcloud | * | 9.0.54 (including) |
| Nextcloud_server | Nextcloud | 10.0.2 (including) | 10.0.2 (including) |
Extended Description
If an attacker can cause the UI to display erroneous data, or to otherwise convince the user to display information that appears to come from a trusted source, then the attacker could trick the user into performing the wrong action. This is often a component in phishing attacks, but other kinds of problems exist. For example, if the UI is used to monitor the security state of a system or network, then omitting or obscuring an important indicator could prevent the user from detecting and reacting to a security-critical event. UI misrepresentation can take many forms:
