Nextcloud: ACL Rename Permission Bypass in Team Folders Allows Unauthorized File Renames

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 17/100)

  • 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: 0.39% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. 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.

Low priority for now. See the fix and affected versions sections below.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Nextcloud is an open source content collaboration platform. From versions 17.0.0 to before 17.0.15, 18.0.0 to before 18.1.12, 19.0.0 to before 19.1.16, 20.0.0 to before 20.1.11, and 21.0.0 to before 21.0.4, a user with READ and CREATE permission, but no UPDATE permission for a team folder can rename files in the team folder. This issue has been patched in versions 17.0.15, 18.1.12, 19.1.16, 20.1.11, and 21.0.4.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

EPSS, last 120 days

FIRST EPSS daily score; only changes of 0.01 or more are recorded (step chart).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.
