Critical NAS read and code execution vulnerabilities

Tracked as CVE-2024-38643, a missing authentication for critical function vulnerability in QNAP’s note-taking and collaboration application for its NAS devices, Notes Station 3, could provide a remote attacker unauthorized access into the vulnerable systems.

The vulnerability, which has received a CVSS v3 severity rating of 9.8 out of 10, affects Notes Station 3 versions 3.9.x, and has been fixed in versions 3.9.7 and later.

Affecting the same versions of the application is another server-side request forgery (SSRF) flaw, tracked as CVE-2024-38645, allowing remote actors with compromised access through CVE-2024-38643 to read full application data. The flaw carries a CVSS v4 rating of 9.4/10.
