⚠️ A sneaky SQL injection in the Nextcloud Android app can wipe your local cache, messing with your account setup! Think of it like a chef who accidentally spills a dangerous sauce in the pantry — it can ruin their entire stock of ingredients, forcing them to start all over again. In this case, a malicious query can lead to loss of your data cache, requiring you to reset your account configuration. If an attacker successfully executes this harmful query, your local data cache could be destroyed, potentially causing you to lose access to your files until you set up your account again. While it's not a breach of critical personal data, the inconvenience is real and could disrupt your workflow.
