Nextcloud Server before 9.0.52 & ownCloud Server before 9.0.4 are vulnerable to a log pollution vulnerability potentially leading to a local XSS. The download log functionality in the admin screen is delivering the log in JSON format to the end-user. The file was delivered with an attachment disposition forcing the browser to download the document. However, Firefox running on Microsoft Windows would offer the user to open the data in the browser as an HTML document. Thus any injected data in the log would be executed.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Nextcloud and ownCloud servers could let attacker-controlled log content execute as script when an admin downloads logs and Firefox on Windows opens the file as HTML. The provided evidence does not show broad remote compromise or active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy Nextcloud or ownCloud deployments still below the fixed versions, especially where administrators download logs from the web interface using Firefox on Windows. Treat as a legacy-platform hygiene issue with moderate urgency. Prioritize upgrades if these products remain in service, but escalate only if affected versions and administrator exposure are confirmed. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Nextcloud Server to 9.0.52 or later.; Upgrade ownCloud Server to 9.0.4 or later.; Review vendor advisories for supported upgrade paths..
