Summary
A command injection vulnerability has been reported in several QNAP operating system versions. A remote attacker with an administrator account can exploit it to execute arbitrary commands. The issue has been fixed in newer QTS and QuTS hero versions.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with administrator privileges can fully compromise the QNAP system, leading to data loss and infrastructure takeover.
Recommendation
Immediately update QNAP system to QTS 5.2.9.3410 or later, QuTS hero h5.2.9.3410 or later, QuTS hero h5.3.4.3500 or later, or QuTS hero h6.0.0.3459 or later.
Other vulnerabilities in QNAP QTS
See all- CVE-2017-7629High
QNAP QTS before version 4.2.6 build 20170517 has a flaw in the change password function.
- 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.

Original NVD description (English source)
A command injection vulnerability has been reported to affect several QNAP operating system versions. If a remote attacker gains an administrator account, they can then exploit the vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands. We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following versions: QTS 5.2.9.3410 build 20260214 and later QuTS hero h5.2.9.3410 build 20260214 and later QuTS hero h5.3.4.3500 build 20260520 and later QuTS hero h6.0.0.3459 build 20260409 and later
