Summary
A path traversal vulnerability has been reported to affect several QNAP operating system versions. If a remote attacker gains a user account, they can then exploit the vulnerability to read the contents of unexpected files or system data.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with regular user privileges can access files and system data they should not have access to. This may lead to information disclosure and breach of data confidentiality.
Recommendation
Update QTS to version 5.2.5.3145 build 20250526 or later, and QuTS hero to version h5.2.5.3138 build 20250519 or later. It is also recommended to review user account permissions.
