Researchers have found 15 vulnerabilities in QNAP's network attached storage devices, and have released a proof-of-concept for one: an unauthenticated stack overflow vulnerability that may be leveraged for remote code execution. "Given the shared-access model of the NAS device, which permits sharing files with specific users, both authenticated and unauthenticated bugs were of interest to us," they said.

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.

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.
