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.
-
Verify Anti-Virus app is installedIn ownCloud admin panel, navigate to Apps section and search for Anti-Virus, or list installed apps via occ command: 'occ app:list' and look for 'antivirus' in the outputAffected if Anti-Virus app appears in the list of installed apps
-
Check Anti-Virus app versionRun 'occ app:version antivirus' or inspect the app's appinfo/info.xml file in ownCloud's apps directory to find the version numberAffected if The reported version is lower than 1.2.3 (e.g., 1.2.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.0, etc.)
-
Confirm Anti-Virus feature is enabledNavigate to ownCloud admin settings under 'Security' or 'Antivirus' section, or run 'occ config:app:get antivirus enabled' to check if the app is activeAffected if The app is enabled and configured to scan uploaded files
-
Check for custom antivirus server configurationIn ownCloud admin antivirus settings, look for fields like 'Antivirus server URL' or 'ICAP endpoint' that accept custom URLs/hostnames. Run 'occ config:list antivirus' to dump current antivirus settingsAffected if A custom URL endpoint is configured that could be manipulated via SSRF
You are affected if the Anti-Virus for ownCloud app is installed, enabled, running at a version before 1.2.3, and has the antivirus scanning feature active with a configurable URL endpoint.
