Summary
The Nextcloud Whiteboard app is affected. A server-side request forgery flaw (CWE-918) lets the app reach internal Chrome DevTools Protocol APIs. A low-privileged attacker can repeatedly leak the JWT authentication token of another user when that user starts a recording, which gives the attacker read and write access to the victim's whiteboard. User interaction is required.

Description from the CNA
A SSRF vulnerability found that enables access to internal Chrome Devtools Protocol APIs that can leak the JWT authentication token for another user. A low privileged attacker could continually exploit this vulnerability to leak the JWT authentication token for another user when they start a recording, which then enables the attacker read/write access to the victim's Whiteboard.
