⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

  • This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
  • This issue is not already reported on Github (I've searched it).
  • Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
  • Nextcloud Server is running on 64bit capable CPU, PHP and OS.
  • I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

When doing a GET request on /ocs/v1.php/cloud/user?format=json the server returns user data, including one containing the full local server path:

            "storageLocation": "/home/bohwaz/www/tmp/nextcloud/data/bohwaz",

This is not a big security issue (as you need to be logged-in to get that response), but this is data that an attacker shouldn't be able to know easily.

This happens on a brand new install after using the web installer.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Do a GET request on /ocs/v1.php/cloud/user?format=json

Expected behavior

No sensitive information being sent to the client.

Installation method

Community Web installer on a VPS or web space

Operating system

Debian/Ubuntu

PHP engine version

PHP 8.1

Web server
