CVE-2026-55640

CRITICAL CVSS 3.1: 9.1 EPSS 0.73%
Updated Sep 10, 2026
Nextcloud
Parameter Value
CVSS 9.1 (CRITICAL)
Fixed In 0.117.2
Type CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function)
Vendor Nextcloud
Public PoC No

Nextcloud MCP Server is a production-ready MCP server that connects AI assistants to a Nextcloud instance. Prior to 0.117.2, the POST /webhooks/nextcloud endpoint in nextcloud_mcp_server/vector/webhook_receiver.py has no authentication by default because WEBHOOK_SECRET defaults to None and startup validation does not require it. When WEBHOOK_SECRET is unset, handle_nextcloud_webhook() accepts unauthenticated requests.

The payload["user"]["uid"] field parsed in nextcloud_mcp_server/vector/webhook_parser.py is attacker-controlled and is used without an authenticated-session cross-check for Qdrant operations, allowing a network attacker to delete or trigger re-indexing of vector embeddings for any user and to destroy the semantic search index by sending forged deletion events. This issue is fixed in version 0.117.2.
