Hi

As I can’t find a way to report a dangerous app in the appstore, I wanted to report that app 3D Model Viewer - Apps - App Store - Nextcloud that basically overwrites multiple core files of Nextcloud !
On the instance I tried it, it deleted content of config.php and also deleted content of mimetypelist.js destroying the nextcloud I had to restore from backup :enraged_face:
How is that possible to list dangerous apps like that in the store ?
All I did was unzip the app in the apps folder, put appropriate rights on it, activate it with occ command and voilà, you just destroyed your NC.
There is a ticket one year old on github of the app stating already it overwrites some core files…

If it can avoid other users to do the same mistake…

I’m not aware of any better methods. you can file a bug report and you can file a review - I think that’s all you can do now..
maybe a generally useful hint - review the app

  • look at the repo - last activity was 8m ago and mostly 3y.. doesn’t look like it is maintained.. would be a huge :warning: for me..
  • use test instance - using VMs, LXC or docker/podman it’s really easy to spin up an installation where you can test new apps
