High CVSS 8
CVE-2025-53829
ownCloud is a file storage, synchronization, and sharing application. In ownCloud 10 prior to version 10.15.3, an attacker with administrative privileges can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the system to execute arbitrary code. Upgrade ownCloud 10 to version 10.15.3 or later to receive a patch.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with a privileged account and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Weakness
- A “../” sequence in a path lets an attacker climb the directory tree and reach other files.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
