CVE-2024-52515Network attack vector

File disclosure via incomplete SVG reference filtering

Published Nov 15, 2024 · Updated Nov 15, 2024

Information disclosure in affected Nextcloud Server releases allows remote authenticated users to read local files through SVG previews. The SVG preview provider checks only for xlink:href text, so a plain href attribute causes ImageMagick to render a referenced local file into the preview. Exploitation requires a low-privileged account, an administrator-enabled SVG preview provider, and interaction that generates the preview.
