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 · unedited
Nextcloud Server is a self hosted personal cloud system. In Nextcloud Server and Server Enterprise prior to 31.0.12 and 32.0.3, a missing sanitization allowed malicious users to circumvent the content security policy when a malicious user manages to trick a user it viewing an uploaded SVG outside of the Nextcloud Servers web page.

Recommended fix High confidence

Nextcloud Server 31.0.12 or 32.0.3

  1. 1. Back up your current Nextcloud Server installation and database before proceeding.
  2. 2. Download Nextcloud Server 31.0.12 (if running version 31.x) or 32.0.3 (if running version 32.x) from the official Nextcloud downloads page.
  3. 3. Extract the new version to your server, preserving your config.php and data directory.
  4. 4. Run the upgrade command or navigate to the update URL to complete the upgrade process.
  5. 5. Clear any caching mechanisms (Redis, memcache, CDN caches) after upgrade.
  6. 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by logging in and checking the server version information.
  7. 7. Test that SVG file uploads are properly sanitized and CSP is enforced.
Caveat Patch releases typically have minimal breaking changes; review the Nextcloud changelog for any version-specific notes before upgrading
