ownCloud Server before 8.0.9 and 8.1.x before 8.1.4 allow remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors, which reveals the installation path in the resulting exception messages.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2016-1501 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
