| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires network reachability to a deployed Synology C2 Identity Edge Server package running a DSM build earlier than 1.76.0-0307; the exposed dangerous function is callable remotely without authentication (CVSS PR:N) and without user interaction (UI:N), so no credentials or victim action are needed. The principal limiting factors are deployment-based rather than configuration-based: the target organization must actually run the C2 Identity Edge Server package (a specific Synology IAM bridging component, not a default DSM service), and the attacker must be able to reach its service interface over the network - meaning edge servers isolated behind firewalls/VPNs or not exposed to untrusted networks are not practically reachable. Impact is confined to confidentiality (credential disclosure, C:H); the flaw does not by itself permit modification or denial of service (I:N/A:N). |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and point to a real-but-not-urgent issue. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 7.5) describes an easily reachable, network-based, unauthenticated information disclosure - high severity for confidentiality because credentials are exposed, but scope-unchanged with no integrity or availability impact. Against that, EPSS is only 0.03% (7th percentile) and there is no KEV listing and no public exploit identified, so widespread or imminent exploitation is not indicated. CISA SSVC reinforces this: Exploitation=none (no observed activity), Automatable=yes (the unauthenticated network flaw could be scripted at scale if an exploit emerged), Technical Impact=partial. The combination of 'Automatable: yes' with 'Exploitation: none' means the bug is theoretically scalable but not currently being used, so prioritization should be driven by the sensitivity of exposed credentials rather than by active-threat pressure. No conflicting data was found: the description (remote attacker, credential theft) is consistent with the CVSS network/PR:N/C:H vector. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with network access to an unpatched C2 Identity Edge Server invokes the exposed function/endpoint without authentication and receives user credentials returned by the server. Because no user interaction or privileges are required (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and the action is automatable, the harvested credentials could then be used for follow-on account takeover or lateral movement into the connected identity environment. No public proof-of-concept exploit has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 27, 2026
Credential disclosure in Synology C2 Identity Edge Server (DSM versions before 1.76.0-0307) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to retrieve user credentials directly from the edge server over the network. The flaw stems from an exposed dangerous method/function (CWE-749) reachable without authentication, yielding a high-confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scores it at the bottom 7th percentile, indicating low near-term exploitation likelihood despite the network-reachable vector.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released patch: upgrade the C2 Identity Edge Server package to version 1.76.0-0307 or later, per Synology advisory SA_25_18 (https://www.synology.com/en-global/security/advisory/Synology_SA_25_18). No vendor workaround was published in the available data, so patching is the primary and recommended action. Until the update is applied, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the edge server - limit inbound access to the package's service ports to trusted management networks or place it behind a VPN/firewall ACL so it is not reachable from untrusted networks; the trade-off is that overly tight restrictions could disrupt legitimate identity-bridging traffic between on-premises directories and the C2 Identity cloud, so scope the rules to known C2 Identity endpoints. After patching, treat any credentials that may have been exposed as potentially compromised and rotate them.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Synology C2 Identity is Synology's cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) service, and the Edge Server is an on-premises package deployed on DSM (DiskStation Manager) appliances to bridge local directory/authentication services with the C2 Identity cloud - making it a sensitive component that handles user identity data and credentials. The root cause is classified as CWE-749 (Exposed Dangerous Method or Function), meaning a method or function intended for internal or privileged use is reachable through an external interface without adequate access control. In this case that exposed functionality permits retrieval of user credentials from the edge server. The EUVD-tracked affected component is the C2 Identity Edge Server package on all versions prior to 1.76.0-0307; no granular CPE strings were provided in the input beyond this version-bounded identifier.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
An Exposed Dangerous Method or Function vulnerability in Synology C2 Identity Edge Server package in DSM before 1.76.0-0307 allows remote attackers to obtain user credentials from the edge server.
Executive ViewAI
A credential disclosure vulnerability in Synology C2 Identity Edge Server (DSM versions before 1.76.0-0307) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to extract user credentials over the network. Because this system manages identity and authentication, compromised credentials could enable unauthorized access across dependent applications and infrastructure. Immediate patching is required despite currently low exploitation probability.
Apply vendor patch.
