CVE-2024-52515 | Nextcloud Server has incomplete sanitization of SVG files allows to embed other images into previews

Nextcloud Server is a self hosted personal cloud system. After an admin enables the default-disabled SVG preview provider, a malicious user could upload a manipulated SVG file referencing paths. If the file would exist the preview of the SVG would preview the other file instead. It is recommended that the Nextcloud Server is upgraded to 27.1.10, 28.0.6 or 29.0.1 and Nextcloud Enterprise Server is upgraded to 24.0.12.15, 25.0.13.10, 26.0.13.4, 27.1.10, 28.0.6 or 29.0.1.

5.7 3.1 MEDIUM
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:R)
A real person has to do something—click, install, enable—otherwise it doesn’t land.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
