The Nextcloud Approval app allows approval or disapproval of files in the sidebar. Prior to 1.3.1 and 2.5.0, an authenticated user listed as a requester in a workflow can set another user’s file into the “pending approval” without access to the file by using the numeric file id. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.1 and 2.5.0.
Weakness
When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
