Nextcloud: Authorization bypass in approval feature allows unauthorized file sharing with approvers

Authorization bypass in approval feature allows unauthorized file sharing with approvers

Nextcloud is an open source content collaboration platform. Prior to version 2.7.2, a privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Approval app that allows a user without sharing permissions to force the system to share a file with approvers. This results in an authorization bypass and privilege escalation, allowing unauthorized distribution of restricted files. This issue has been patched in version 2.7.2.
