CVE-2016-9462: Nextcloud Server before 9.0.52 & ownCloud Server before 9.0.4 are not properly verifying restore privileges...

Nextcloud Server before 9.0.52 & ownCloud Server before 9.0.4 are not properly verifying restore privileges when restoring a file. The restore capability of Nextcloud/ownCloud was not verifying whether a user has only read-only access to a share. Thus a user with read-only access was able to restore old versions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw let a read-only recipient of a shared file restore an older version, effectively changing content they should only view. It affects legacy Nextcloud Server before 9.0.52 and ownCloud Server before 9.0.4. The business risk is unauthorized rollback or disruption of shared documents, not full server compromise based on the supplied evidence. Exposure is most likely where legacy Nextcloud or ownCloud 9.0 deployments remain in use with shared files, read-only recipients, and file versioning enabled. Modern or upgraded deployments are not identified as affected in the supplied bundle. Treat as a moderate-priority legacy collaboration-platform issue. It can undermine document integrity and trust in read-only sharing, but the supplied evidence does not show remote unauthenticated compromise or known active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Nextcloud Server to 9.0.52 or later if still on an affected release.; Upgrade ownCloud Server to 9.0.4 or later if still on an affected release.; Review the Nextcloud and ownCloud advisories for vendor-supported remediation guidance..
