Hi,
Recently several colleagues encountered the issue of OneDrive for Business sharing one's ENTIRE OneDrive root folder when merely trying to share a specific sub folder.
Does anyone know how this is possible and how it can be prevented on an admin level?
Thanks in advance!

So, you mean the shared with user now can access the entire OneDrive folder? What does the experience look like! Is the correct folder shown in the mail and in the "shared with me"/"shared by me"" folder in the users OneDrive webclient?
If so,
Also verify permissions on the users OneDrive in SharePoint!

Is the users who shared the folder the only owner?

Yeah, if this really happens and also there is no permissions set for that user, this is a major bug! Can you please post some pictures if possible of the experience also

I spotted this bug back in June 2015 and recorded a screen capture of the steps to reproduce it. (Here's the video: https://youtu.be/MHD7XXuDCtA)
I reproduced it today using the classic UI in OneDrive for Business, but I couldn't produce it in the modern UI.
Essentially, you select to share a file or folder and while the details pop up is open, you unselect the file -- and then click "share". Instead of sharing a file/folder, you're sharing the entire document library.

I think this particular "bug" is more prone to slow computers and/or click happy end users.
