DescriptionNVD

Buffer copy without checking size of input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') vulnerability in AdminCenter in Synology BeeStation OS before 1.3.2-65648 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Synology BeeStation OS versions before 1.3.2-65648 stems from a classic buffer overflow in the AdminCenter component, the device's web-based management interface. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates a network-reachable flaw exploitable by unauthenticated attackers with low complexity and no user interaction, yielding full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (9.8 Critical). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but the unauthenticated network-RCE profile on a consumer NAS device makes this a high-priority patch target.

Technical ContextAI

BeeStation is Synology's consumer personal-cloud / network-attached-storage appliance, and AdminCenter is its browser-accessible administration console. The root cause is CWE-120, 'Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input' (Classic Buffer Overflow): input is copied into a fixed-size memory buffer without validating that the input length fits, allowing adjacent memory - including return addresses or control structures - to be overwritten. Because AdminCenter is the privileged management surface, a successful overwrite that redirects execution typically runs code in the context of the administrative web service, which on appliances like this is often highly privileged. No CPE strings were supplied in the input; affected scope is defined by the BeeStation OS version boundary in the description rather than by enumerated CPEs.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor fix by upgrading to BeeStation OS 1.3.2-65648 or later (Vendor-released patch: 1.3.2-65648), as documented in Synology advisory SA_25_12 at https://www.synology.com/en-global/security/advisory/Synology_SA_25_12; this is the primary and only confirmed remediation. Because the input lists no vendor-provided workaround, the recommended compensating control until patching is to remove the AdminCenter management interface from internet exposure - disable QuickConnect/external port forwarding to the device and restrict the admin web ports (typically the BeeStation management HTTP/HTTPS ports) to trusted LAN hosts or a VPN, accepting the trade-off that remote administration and remote file access will be unavailable until access is restored. Network-layer firewall rules limiting source IPs to known administrators reduce the attack surface but do not remediate the underlying overflow, so they are a stopgap, not a substitute for the update.
