CVE-2023-49103
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAn issue was discovered in ownCloud owncloud/graphapi 0.2.x before 0.2.1 and 0.3.x before 0.3.1. The graphapi app relies on a third-party GetPhpInfo.php library that provides a URL. When this URL is accessed, it reveals the configuration details of the PHP environment (phpinfo). This information includes all the environment variables of the webserver. In containerized deployments, these environment variables may include sensitive data such as the ownCloud admin password, mail server credentials, and license key. Simply disabling the graphapi app does not eliminate the vulnerability. Additionally, phpinfo exposes various other potentially sensitive configuration details that could be exploited by an attacker to gather information about the system. Therefore, even if ownCloud is not running in a containerized environment, this vulnerability should still be a cause for concern. Note that Docker containers from before February 2023 are not vulnerable to the credential disclosure.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe ownCloud graphapi app (versions 0.2.x before 0.2.1 and 0.3.x before 0.3.1) includes a third-party GetPhpInfo.php library that exposes a URL revealing full phpinfo() output. This exposes all PHP environment variables including sensitive data such as admin passwords, mail credentials, and license keys in containerized deployments. Simply disabling the graphapi app does not remediate the issue.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify graphapi app versionCheck the version of the installed ownCloud graphapi app. This is typically found in the ownCloud marketplace, app settings, or by inspecting the appinfo/info.xml file in the graphapi app directory.Affected if The installed version is 0.2.0 or 0.3.0, or the version cannot be determined but falls within these release lines.
-
Locate GetPhpInfo.php fileSearch for the GetPhpInfo.php file within the ownCloud graphapi application directory structure. Typical path pattern: /path/to/owncloud/apps/graphapi/vendor/microsoft/windowsazure/lib/GetPhpInfo.php or similar vendor directories.Affected if The GetPhpInfo.php file exists in the graphapi app directory or its vendor subdirectories.
-
Check vulnerable URL accessibilityAttempt to access the known vulnerable endpoint. The typical path is /index.php/apps/graphapi/vendor/microsoft/windowsazure/lib/GetPhpInfo.php or a variation that exposes the phpinfo output via the graphapi app routes.Affected if Accessing this URL returns the full phpinfo() output showing PHP configuration and environment variables.
-
Verify sensitive data in environmentIf phpinfo output is accessible, inspect it for exposure of sensitive environment variables such as OC_PASS, mail server credentials, license keys, database credentials, or other secrets that should not be visible.Affected if The phpinfo output reveals environment variables containing passwords, keys, or other credentials.
You are affected if the graphapi app version is 0.2.0 or 0.3.0, OR the GetPhpInfo.php file exists and is accessible via web request, as either condition allows exposure of PHP environment variables containing sensitive credentials.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade graphapi app to version 0.2.1 or 0.3.1 to remove the vulnerable GetPhpInfo.php library. Note that disabling the app alone does not eliminate the vulnerability.
graphapi version 0.2.1 or 0.3.1 (or latest stable)
- Upgrade the ownCloud graphapi app to version 0.2.1 or 0.3.1 (or the latest stable version available)
- After upgrading, verify the vulnerability is fixed by attempting to access the GetPhpInfo.php endpoint and confirming it no longer returns phpinfo output
