How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2026-23989, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/opencloud eu/reva/v2:

inspect dependencies for github.com/opencloud-eu/reva/v2

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/opencloud eu/reva/v2 in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.40.3), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization, where the product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. In Github.com/opencloud eu/reva/v2, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact A security issue was discovered in Reva based products that enables a malicious user to bypass the scope validation of a public link, allowing it to access resources outside the scope of a public link. ### Details Public link shares in OpenCloud are bound to a specific scope (usually a file or directory). Anonymous users accessing resources via this public link share are only allowed to access the share resource itself and, in case of a directory or space root, all child resources of it. Due to a bug in the GRPC authorization middleware of the "Reva" component of OpenCloud a malicious user is able to bypass the scope verification. By exploiting this via the the "archiver" service this can be leveraged to create an archive (zip or tar-file) containing all resources that this creator of the public link has access to. It is not possible to bypass the public link scope via "normal" WebDAV requests so it is not possible to exploit this vulnerability via WebDAV. ### Patches Update to OpenCloud Reva version >= 2.40.3 for the 2.40.x versions.\ Update to OpenCloud Reva version >= 2.42.3 for the 2.41.x versions ### Workarounds There is no workaround because one cannot run Reva standalone from this project. Please check the [OpenCloud Advisory](https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud/security/advisories/GHSA-vf5j-r2hw-2hrw) how to mitigate the problem in an OpenCloud deployment via configuration. ### For more information If there are any questions or comments about this advisory: - Security Support: [security@opencloud.eu](mailto:security@opencloud.eu) - Technical Support: [support@opencloud.eu](mailto:support@opencloud.eu)
