Description
Impact
A security issue was discovered in Reva based products that enables a malicious user to bypass the scope validation of a public link, allowing it to access resources outside the scope of a public link.
Details
Public link shares in OpenCloud are bound to a specific scope (usually a file or directory). Anonymous users accessing resources via this public link share are only allowed to access the share resource itself and, in case of a directory or space root, all child resources of it.
Due to a bug in the GRPC authorization middleware of the "Reva" component of OpenCloud a malicious user is able to bypass the scope verification. By exploiting this via the the "archiver" service this can be leveraged to create an archive (zip or tar-file) containing all resources that this creator of the public link has access to.
It is not possible to bypass the public link scope via "normal" WebDAV requests so it is not possible to exploit this vulnerability via WebDAV.
Patches
Update to OpenCloud Reva version >= 2.40.3 for the 2.40.x versions.
Update to OpenCloud Reva version >= 2.42.3 for the 2.41.x versions
Workarounds
There is no workaround because one cannot run Reva standalone from this project. Please check the OpenCloud Advisory how to mitigate the problem in an OpenCloud deployment via configuration.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/opencloud-eu/reva/v2, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/opencloud-eu/reva/v2 to 2.40.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-23989 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
