Nextcloud Server is a self hosted personal cloud system. In Nextcloud Server prior to 29.0.13, 30.0.7, and 31.0.1 and Nextcloud Enterprise Server prior to 26.0.13.13, 27.1.11.13, 28.0.14.4, 29.0.13, 30.0.7, and 31.0.1, an attacker on a multi-user system may read temporary files from Nextcloud running with a different user account, or run a symlink attack. Nextcloud Server versions 29.0.13, 30.0.7, and 31.0.1 and Nextcloud Enterprise Server 26.0.13.13, 27.1.11.13, 28.0.14.4, 29.0.13, 30.0.7, and 31.0.1 fix the issue. No known workarounds are available.

Weakness

The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.

Extended Description

Access control involves the use of several protection mechanisms such as:

When any mechanism is not applied or otherwise fails, attackers can compromise the security of the product by gaining privileges, reading sensitive information, executing commands, evading detection, etc. There are two distinct behaviors that can introduce access control weaknesses:

Potential Mitigations

  • Compartmentalize the system to have “safe” areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
  • Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
