CVE-2023-48307: Nextcloud Mail app vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 39/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.86% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 58.7% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- No fixed version is recorded, but the references include a patch (commit or PR) link.
- Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 3.5, NVD 9.8.
Low priority for now. See the fix and affected versions sections below.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Nextcloud Mail is the mail app for Nextcloud, a self-hosted productivity platform. Starting in version 1.13.0 and prior to version 2.2.8 and 3.3.0, an attacker can use an unprotected endpoint in the Mail app to perform a SSRF attack. Nextcloud Mail app versions 2.2.8 and 3.3.0 contain a patch for this issue. As a workaround, disable the mail app.
