The above bugs impact QTS, the NAS operating system on QNAP devices, QuTScloud, the VM-optimized version of QTS, and QTS hero, a specialized version focused on high performance.
QNAP has addressed CVE-2023-50361 through CVE-2023-50364 in a security update released in April 2024, in versions QTS 5.1.6.2722 build 20240402 and later, and QuTS hero h5.1.6.2734 build 20240414 and later.
To exploit CVE-2024-27130, the attacker needs a valid 'ssid' parameter, which is generated when a NAS user shares a file from their QNAP device.
WatchTowr published an exploit on GitHub, in which they demonstrate how to craft a payload that creates a 'watchtowr' account to a QNAP device and adds them to the sudoers for elevated privileges.
