QNAP warns of vulnerabilities in its NAS software products, including QTS, QuTS hero, QuTScloud, and myQNAPcloud, that could allow attackers to access devices. NAS devices often store large amounts of valuable data for businesses and individuals, including sensitive personal information, intellectual property, and critical business data.

QNAP Systems has patched two unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerabilities in various versions of the operating systems embedded in the firmware of their popular network-attached storage devices. "Prior to the publication of CVE-2023-47565, Unit 42 researchers initially suspected the ATP-observed vulnerability to affect QNAP NAS systems running QTS firmware. However, on November 17, 2023, Unit 42 conducted reverse engineering and additional investigation of QTS firmware images and discovered the vulnerability now known as CVE-2023-50358. The two vulnerabilities are somewhat similar, but affect different software components in different classes of devices."

Network-attached storage specialist QNAP has disclosed and released fixes for two new vulnerabilities, one of them a zero-day discovered in early November. Unit 42's assessment, on the other hand, was the polar opposite: "These remote code execution vulnerabilities affecting IoT devices exhibit a combination of low attack complexity and critical impact, making them an irresistible target for threat actors. As a result, protecting IoT devices against such threats is an urgent task."

A security flaw has been disclosed in Kyocera’s Device Manager product that could be exploited by bad actors to carry out malicious activities on affected systems. "This vulnerability allows...

A Mirai-based botnet named 'InfectedSlurs' is exploiting a remote code execution vulnerability in QNAP VioStor NVR devices to hijack and make them part of its DDoS swarm. The second zero-day vulnerability in the botnet's attacks is CVE-2023-47565, a high-severity OS command injection impacting QNAP VioStor NVR models running QVR firmware 4.x. QNAP published an advisory on December 7, 2023, explaining that the previously unknown issue was fixed in QVR firmware 5.x and later, which is available to all actively supported models.

QNAP has released security updates to address two critical security flaws impacting its operating system that could result in arbitrary code execution. Tracked as CVE-2023-23368 (CVSS score: 9.8),...

QNAP Systems published security advisories for two critical command injection vulnerabilities that impact multiple versions of the QTS operating system and applications on its network-attached storage devices. It is a command injection vulnerability that a remote attacker can exploit to execute commands via a network.

QNAP took down a malicious server used in widespread brute-force attacks targeting Internet-exposed NAS devices with weak passwords. The Taiwanese hardware vendor detected the attacks on the evening of October 14 and, with assistance from Digital Ocean, took down the command-and-control server within two days.
