Description

In Nextcloud Contacts before 2.1.2, a missing sanitization of search results for an autocomplete field could lead to a stored XSS requiring user-interaction. The missing sanitization only affected group names, hence malicious search results could only be crafted by privileged users like admins or group admins.

Affected products

Nextcloud Contacts: before 2.1.2 — fixed in 2.1.2

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Nextcloud Contacts 2.1.2. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
