GHSA-8rwr-f68v-cvw6
No affected components available
Summary
The upload-by-URL path did not enforce NC_ATTACHMENT_FIELD_SIZE against either the remote file's advertised Content-Length or the decoded length of a data: URI, allowing an authenticated user to bypass the configured per-file size limit.
Details
The attachments service now checks NC_ATTACHMENT_FIELD_SIZE against both the HEAD response's content-length and the decoded length of a data: URI body before fetching. The local storage plugin additionally sets maxContentLength on the axios download so a malicious server cannot stream past the limit.
Impact
Authenticated users with upload permission could attach files larger than the operator-configured limit, defeating storage and bandwidth caps.
