Summary
Nextcloud Server from 32.0.0 through 33.0.0 is affected. For teams set to visible to everyone, the web UI blocks non-members, but the resources API endpoint does not enforce the same check. This is CWE-284, an improper access control flaw. Any authenticated non-member can list the team's internal resources and their identifiers, though not the contents of those resources.

Description from the CNA
When a team was configured as "visible to everyone", the web UI correctly blocked non-members from viewing the team ("You are not a member of ..."), but the resources API endpoint could still be called directly, allowing any authenticated non-member to enumerate the team's internal resources and their identifiers. This does not grant access to the contents of the discovered resources themselves, only their existence, names, and identifiers.
