    Information Disclosure Vulnerability in ownCloud GraphAPI

    A significant information disclosure vulnerability has been identified in the ownCloud GraphAPI, affecting multiple versions and potentially exposing sensitive configuration details.

    What changed

    An information disclosure vulnerability has been discovered in the ownCloud GraphAPI, specifically in versions 0.2.x prior to 0.2.1 and 0.3.x prior to 0.3.1. The vulnerability arises from the use of a third-party library, GetPhpInfo.php, which, when accessed, reveals sensitive configuration details of the PHP environment.

    This exposure includes critical environment variables that may contain sensitive information such as admin passwords, mail server credentials, and license keys, particularly in containerized deployments.

    Who is affected

    The vulnerability impacts users of the ownCloud platform utilizing the affected versions of the GraphAPI app. Organizations relying on ownCloud for file sharing and collaboration should be particularly vigilant.

    Additionally, any deployments that utilize containerization may be at greater risk due to the potential exposure of sensitive environment variables.

    • ownCloud users with versions 0.2.x before 0.2.1
    • ownCloud users with versions 0.3.x before 0.3.1
    • Organizations using containerized deployments of ownCloud
    • Developers integrating the GraphAPI into their applications

    What to do

    To mitigate this vulnerability, it is crucial for affected users to upgrade to the latest versions of the ownCloud GraphAPI. Version 0.2.1 or later for the 0.2.x series and version 0.3.1 or later for the 0.3.x series should be implemented immediately.

    Additionally, review and restrict access to the GetPhpInfo.php library to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.

    • Upgrade to ownCloud GraphAPI version 0.2.1 or later
    • Upgrade to ownCloud GraphAPI version 0.3.1 or later
    • Restrict access to the GetPhpInfo.php library
    • Conduct a security audit to identify any exposed sensitive information
