What is CVE-2025-66558?

The Nextcloud Twofactor WebAuthn component is exposed to a vulnerability due to a missing ownership check. Attackers can exploit this by correctly guessing a random string ranging from 80 to 128 characters, allowing them to take over a user's 2FA WebAuthn device. Users will face a prompt to register a new device upon their next login, potentially compromising their account security. This issue was addressed in versions 1.4.2 and 2.4.1, which correct the flawed ownership verification process.
