#WDMyCloud users should disconnect it from the internet until #WesternDigital provides an update. A authentication bypass vulnerability has been found.

Authentication bypass vulnerability in Western Digital My Cloud allows escalation to admin privileges

Security Advisory

@nextcloud hotfix released by Western Digital yesterday. Users should apply asap.
@nextcloud Notice how the researchers contacted WD on Apr 10. No response until publication on Sep 18 (after 5! months). Then fix 4 days after publication. I guess security is less important than bad publicity to #WesternDigital.
@nextcloud Bien contente d'avoir débranché le mien depuis l'annonce de la backdoor, pu aucune confiance dans ce parpaing !
