Nextcloud Server is a Nextcloud package that handles data storage. In versions priot to 19.0.13, 20.0.11, and 21.0.3, Nextcloud Server audit logging functionality wasnt properly logging events for the unsetting of a share expiration date. This event is supposed to be logged. This issue is patched in versions 19.0.13, 20.0.11, and 21.0.3.

Weakness

When a security-critical event occurs, the product either does not record the event or omits important details about the event when logging it.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Nextcloud_server Nextcloud * 19.0.13 (excluding)
Nextcloud_server Nextcloud 20.0.0 (including) 20.0.11 (excluding)
Nextcloud_server Nextcloud 21.0.0 (including) 21.0.3 (excluding)

Extended Description

When security-critical events are not logged properly, such as a failed login attempt, this can make malicious behavior more difficult to detect and may hinder forensic analysis after an attack succeeds. As organizations adopt cloud storage resources, these technologies often require configuration changes to enable detailed logging information, since detailed logging can incur additional costs. This could lead to telemetry gaps in critical audit logs. For example, in Azure, the default value for logging is disabled.
