CVE-2016-9461 (CCN-123938)

Assigned:2016-10-10
Published:2016-10-10
Updated:2019-10-09
Summary:Nextcloud Server before 9.0.52 & ownCloud Server before 9.0.4 are not properly verifying edit check permissions on WebDAV copy actions. The WebDAV endpoint was not properly checking the permission on a WebDAV COPY action. This allowed an authenticated attacker with access to a read-only share to put new files in there. It was not possible to modify existing files.
