NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nextcloud-desktop package and not the nextcloud-desktop package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The Nextcloud Desktop Client is a tool to synchronize files from Nextcloud Server. Starting with version 3.0.0 and prior to version 3.7.0, by trusting that the server will return a certificate that belongs to the keypair of the user, a malicious server could get the desktop client to encrypt files with a key known to the attacker. This issue is fixed in Nextcloud Desktop 3.7.0. No known workarounds are available.
