Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges.
The vulnerability exists due to the possibility to extend internal-share permissions using the API. A remote attacker can extend the permission of a received subfolder share using the ocs api and gain elevated privileges. Additional risk exists because the privileged extension is also possible on public-shares.
