CVE-2016-9464: Nextcloud Server before 9.0.54 and 10.0.0 suffers from an improper authorization check on removing shares.

Nextcloud Server before 9.0.54 and 10.0.0 suffers from an improper authorization check on removing shares. The Sharing Backend as implemented in Nextcloud does differentiate between shares to users and groups. In case of a received group share, users should be able to unshare the file to themselves but not to the whole group. The previous API implementation simply unshared the file to all users in the group.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw let a Nextcloud user who received a group share remove the share for the entire group, not just themselves. It is mainly a collaboration and authorization-control issue, not evidence of data theft from the provided sources. Exposure is limited to organizations running affected Nextcloud Server versions with group sharing enabled or used. Systems on 9.0.54, 10.0.0, or later are not identified as affected in the supplied CVE description. Treat this as a targeted remediation item for legacy Nextcloud deployments. Prioritize if group sharing supports business-critical workflows, because a low-privileged user could disrupt access for a wider team. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Nextcloud Server instances to 9.0.54, 10.0.0, or later.; Review the Nextcloud advisory for vendor-confirmed remediation details.; Restrict group sharing where business use does not require it..

Improper Authorization

Improper Authorization represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
