Narrow default NEXTCLOUD_TRUSTED_PROXIES to explicit proxy addresses #81

Description

@stoertebeker

Summary

The default NEXTCLOUD_TRUSTED_PROXIES value trusts entire private network ranges instead of only the actual reverse proxy addresses.

Evidence

  • .env.example:200 defaults to 127.0.0.1 ::1 10.0.0.0/8 fc00::/7.
  • configs/installer/nextcloud_setup_default.sh:128-135 applies this value directly to Nextcloud.

Risk

Any client reaching the service from those ranges can spoof forwarded-IP headers. That can affect logging, brute-force protection, and other proxy-aware security controls.

Suggested Remediation

  • Default to loopback only, or to an empty value that must be set explicitly.
  • Document that only the exact reverse proxy IPs or subnets should be trusted.
