NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream owncloud package and not the owncloud package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Nextcloud Server before 9.0.52 & ownCloud Server before 9.0.4 are vulnerable to a content-spoofing attack in the files app. The location bar in the files app was not verifying the passed parameters. An attacker could craft an invalid link to a fake directory structure and use this to display an attacker-controlled error message to the user.
