Linux openSUSE vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A logic error was discovered in Nextcloud Server 19.0.0 that resulted in the plaintext storage of share passwords when provided during the initial create API call. The vulnerability was assigned CVE-2020-8183 and was reported through the HackerOne platform (CVE Details, Debian Tracker).
Technical details
