Summary
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability affects several QNAP operating system versions. If a remote attacker gains an administrator account, they can exploit it to launch a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. The issue is fixed in QTS 5.2.6.3195 build 20250715 and later.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with an administrator account can crash services and disrupt access to the NAS, causing data and service unavailability. Exploitation requires prior compromise of administrator privileges.
Recommendation
Update QNAP systems to QTS 5.2.6.3195 build 20250715 or later. Additionally, restrict administrative access and protect administrator accounts with strong passwords and MFA.

- CVE-2017-5227High
QNAP QTS before version 4.2.4 Build 20170313 allows local users to obtain sensitive Domain Administrator password information by reading data in an XOR format within the /etc/config/uLinux.conf configuration file.
- CVE-2015-6003High
CVE-2015-6003 is a directory traversal vulnerability in QNAP QTS before version 4.1.4 build 0910 and 4.2.x before version 4.2.0 RC2 build 0910, when AFP is enabled. It allows remote attackers to read or write to arbitrary files by leveraging access to an OS X user or guest account.
- CVE-2018-19953MediumActively exploited
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in QNAP QTS systems could allow remote attackers to inject malicious code. Fixed in specific QTS versions.
- CVE-2018-19949CriticalActively exploited
If exploited, this command injection vulnerability could allow remote attackers to run arbitrary commands. QNAP has already fixed the issue in the following QTS versions. QTS 4.4.2.1231 on build 20200302; QTS 4.4.1.1201 on build 20200130; QTS 4.3.6.1218 on build 20200214; QTS 4.3.4.1190 on build 20200107; QTS 4.3.3.1161 on build 20200109; QTS 4.2.6 on build 20200109.
- CVE-2018-19943HighActively exploited
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in QNAP QTS systems could allow remote attackers to inject malicious code. Fixed in specific QTS versions.
- CVE-2019-7193CriticalActively exploited
This improper input validation vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary code to the system. To fix the vulnerability, QNAP recommend updating QTS to their latest versions.
- CVE-2017-17033Critical
A buffer overflow vulnerability in the password function in QNAP QTS versions 4.2.6, 4.3.3.0378, 4.3.4.0387 (Beta 2) and earlier could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on NAS devices.
- CVE-2017-17030Critical
