Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect behavior order in SharesService.updateMany and SharesService.deleteMany when handling share update or delete requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request using any path-valid UUID to cause a denial of service.
The target UUID does not need to correspond to an existing row, and the issue forces permission data to be re-derived from the database by invalidating the global permissions cache.
