What is CVE-2016-9463?

Nextcloud Server and ownCloud Server exhibit a vulnerability that enables unauthorized access to user accounts through SMB User Authentication Bypass. The issue stems from an optional SMB authentication component that, if configured, allows users to authenticate against an SMB server. Due to improper handling of anonymous authentication configurations that are common in many SMB servers, this vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated attacker to access user accounts without valid credentials. It's important to note that this SMB backend is disabled by default and requires manual configuration in the system's settings.
