CVE-2026-77169 Details
Description
A vulnerability in the team folders (formerly group folders) app when used in combination with the workspace app allowed API/REST-only delegated administrators to bypass folder-level authorization controls. The workspace app enables organizations to delegate limited administrative privileges for team folder management via API/REST only, restricting access to folders for which the admin has advanced permissions.
A vulnerability exists in the Nextcloud Team Folders app, specifically for API/REST-only delegated administrators. This issue allows these administrators to bypass folder-level authorization controls and gain access to any Team Folder. The vulnerability arises because the workspace app enables limited administrative privileges for team folder management via API/REST, but does not properly enforce authorization checks on folder access. As a result, an API-only delegated admin can enumerate all Team Folders and grant access to arbitrary groups, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive organizational data.
This vulnerability has been addressed in the latest Nextcloud maintenance releases.
