Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the Nextcloud federated share endpoint (federation/OCM sharing) to be reachable and accepting external federated share requests from the attacker's source; the write primitive into oc_share_external is invoked through that endpoint. Per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) the action is unauthenticated with no user interaction, so an internet-exposed server with federated sharing available is directly at risk against default-style deployments. The limiting factors are: the endpoint/federated-sharing functionality must be enabled and network-accessible, the installed version must fall within Server 22.0.0 to ≤34.0.0, and impact is confined to availability (no data disclosure or modification). The injected rows persist with no automatic cleanup and the DoS self-renews on a 24-hour cycle, so recovery requires manual removal of the rows in addition to patching.

Impact

Severity is driven entirely by availability: the input CVSS 3.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 7.5) describes an unauthenticated, low-complexity, remote resource-exhaustion flaw (CWE-400) with no confidentiality or integrity impact. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week' rather than act_now/emergency, which aligns with a high-impact but non-code-execution DoS. No EPSS score and no KEV status are provided in the input, so neither widespread automated exploitation nor active in-the-wild use can be asserted. The HackerOne report (reference 3679640) is a public PoC reference but is not verified as working exploit code. The signals are internally consistent - a genuinely remote, unauthenticated DoS primitive that persists indefinitely and self-renews every 24 hours - but the real-world priority is tempered by the fact that impact is limited to availability and no confirmed exploitation telemetry (KEV/EPSS) is supplied. Treat as a real, patch-this-week availability risk for internet-exposed Nextcloud instances, not a confidentiality/integrity emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker sends crafted requests to a reachable Nextcloud federated share endpoint, with no authentication, to insert attacker-controlled rows into the oc_share_external table. Because the rows persist with no automatic cleanup and re-trigger the denial-of-service conditions on a 24-hour cycle, a single unauthenticated interaction produces a self-renewing availability outage until the rows are manually removed. A public PoC reference exists (HackerOne report 3679640); it is not verified as working exploit code.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Unauthenticated requests against Nextcloud Server's federated share endpoint (Server 22.0.0 through 34.0.0 per EUVD) can be abused to insert arbitrary rows into the oc_share_external table, and because that table has no automatic cleanup the injected rows persist indefinitely. Three distinct denial-of-service conditions follow from this write primitive, all triggered from the same unauthenticated source and all re-firing on a 24-hour cycle for as long as the rows remain in the database. Severity is driven entirely by availability impact (CVSS 3.0 base 7.5, CWE-400, C:N/I:N/A:H); there is no confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, though exploitation code could not be ruled out from the HackerOne report referenced.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released fixed version is identified in the supplied references, so the fix state must be confirmed against Nextcloud's own advisories and the linked HackerOne report (https://hackerone.com/reports/3679640) and VulDB entry (https://vuldb.com/vuln/427432) before planning an upgrade of the affected 22.0.0-34.0.0 branches; given the vuln.today 'this_week' prioritization, treat that confirmation as the immediate action. Because the assessed exploitation condition is reachability of the federated share endpoint, the direct compensating control is to disable federated/server-to-server (OCM) sharing - both incoming and outgoing federation - on any instance that does not require it, with the trade-off that legitimate cross-instance shares stop working and existing federated shares may become unusable. Where federation must remain available, restrict the federated share endpoint at the reverse proxy or WAF to known partner OCM providers and rate-limit inbound share requests, accepting that this breaks ad-hoc federation with unknown servers and requires ongoing allow-list maintenance. Patching alone does not clear already-injected data: because there is no automatic cleanup, administrators must manually remove the offending rows from oc_share_external, otherwise the 24-hour denial-of-service cycle continues even after the code-level issue is addressed.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Nextcloud's federation feature (server-to-server / OCM sharing) lets a server accept share offers from remote Nextcloud instances, and the metadata for each incoming offer is stored as a row in the oc_share_external database table. The federated share endpoint is designed to be reachable by remote peers, so the request path is network-facing and, per the assessed vector (PR:N/UI:N), requires no authentication or user interaction. The defect class is CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption): the endpoint permits a remote party to write arbitrary rows into oc_share_external without adequate validation or bounding, and the table has no expiry or garbage-collection mechanism, so attacker-supplied rows are durable. From that write primitive the report derives three separate denial-of-service conditions that recur every 24 hours while the rows remain. The available sources do not describe the precise request-level trigger, the individual DoS mechanisms, or the fields written beyond the target table, so those specifics should be confirmed against the HackerOne report (3679640) and the VulDB advisory (427432). Impact is bounded to availability - the assessed vector records no confidentiality or integrity effect.

DescriptionCVE.org

Abusing the federated share endpoint, an attacker can write arbitrary rows into the oc_share_external database table. These rows persist indefinitely - there is no automatic cleanup mechanism. Three distinct denial-of-service conditions follow from this write primitive, all triggered from the same unauthenticated source and all self-renewing on a 24-hour cycle for as long as the injected rows remain in the database.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-77167 is a high-severity unauthenticated denial-of-service vulnerability in Nextcloud Server (versions 22.0.0 through 34.0.0) that allows an attacker to inject persistent rows into the federated share table, causing recurring service disruptions every 24 hours without automatic cleanup. This impacts all organizations relying on Nextcloud for file sharing and collaboration, leading to potential productivity loss and operational disruption until manual intervention occurs. Leadership should prioritize remediation because the vulnerability is easy to exploit remotely and can repeatedly interrupt business-critical services.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Restrict unauthenticated access to the federated share endpoint via network controls (e.g., WAF rules or IP allowlists), monitor and manually clean anomalous entries in the oc_share_external table, and apply vendor-recommended interim mitigations if provided.
