- nextcloud security-advisories: from 30.0.0, fixed in 30.0.2; from 29.0.0, fixed in 29.0.9; from 28.0.0, fixed in 28.0.12; from 18.0.0, fixed in 18.0.3; from 17.0.0, fixed in 17.0.5; from 16.0.0, fixed in 16.0.11

## Description

Nextcloud Server is a self hosted personal cloud system, and the Nextcloud Groupfolders app provides admin-configured folders shared by everyone in a group or team. In Nextcloud Server prior to 30.0.2, 29.0.9, and 28.0.1, Nextcloud Enterprise Server prior to 30.0.2 and 29.0.9, and Nextcloud Groupfolders app prior to 18.0.3, 17.0.5, and 16.0.11, the absence of quota checking on attachments allowed logged-in users to upload files exceeding the group folder quota. Nextcloud Server versions 30.0.2 and 29.0.9, Nextcloud Enterprise Server versions 30.0.2, 29.0.9, or 28.0.12, and Nextcloud Groupfolders app 18.0.3, 17.0.5, and 16.0.11 fix the issue. No known workarounds are available.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on nextcloud security-advisories, upgrade to a fixed version (30.0.2, 29.0.9, 28.0.12, 18.0.3, 17.0.5) per the references below.
