Summary
Nextcloud server from 22.0.0 through 34.0.0 is affected. The federated share endpoint lets an unauthenticated remote attacker write arbitrary rows into the oc_share_external database table, and these rows persist with no automatic cleanup (CWE-400). The injected rows trigger three denial-of-service conditions that renew every 24 hours while the rows remain.

Description from the CNA
Abusing the federated share endpoint, an attacker can write arbitrary rows into the oc_share_external database table. These rows persist indefinitely — there is no automatic cleanup mechanism. Three distinct denial-of-service conditions follow from this write primitive, all triggered from the same unauthenticated source and all self-renewing on a 24-hour cycle for as long as the injected rows remain in the database.
