What is CVE-2023-39960?

Nextcloud Server, a widely used open-source cloud platform, is susceptible to brute force attacks via its WebDAV API. The vulnerability exists in versions starting from 25.0.0 up to 25.09 and 26.04, as well as in Nextcloud Enterprise Server versions from 22.0.0 up to 22.2.10.14, 23.0.12.9, 24.0.12.5, 25.0.9, and 26.0.4, allowing attackers to attempt password brute-force techniques without sufficient protections in place.
