ownCloud Vulnerability Exploited in Mass Attacks

Security researchers have identified a severe vulnerability in ownCloud, an open-source filesharing server app, that allows hackers to gain full control of vulnerable servers. The vulnerability, rated with a severity score of 10, enables attackers to obtain passwords and cryptographic keys by sending a simple web request to a static URL. Researchers have observed "mass exploitation" of the vulnerability, with the number of IP addresses attempting to exploit it steadily increasing. While some experts believe the threat may be limited due to specific conditions required for exploitation, there are still concerns given the large number of ownCloud servers in use. ownCloud has also recently fixed two other high-severity vulnerabilities. Users are advised to follow mitigation steps provided by ownCloud to protect their systems.
