DescriptionCVE.org

An improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') vulnerability in Video API in Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) before 7.2.1-69057-10, 7.2.2-72806-7 and 7.3.2-86009-2 allows remote authenticated users to read or write limited files when the player is launched.

AnalysisAI

Cross-site scripting in the Video API of Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) allows a remote authenticated user to read or write a limited set of files in the context of a victim's browser session when the video player is launched. Affected builds are DSM before 7.2.1-69057-10, 7.2.2-72806-7, and 7.3.2-86009-2; exploitation requires a valid DSM account with Video API access plus victim interaction (launching the player), and impact is bounded to low-confidentiality and low-integrity file access rather than code execution. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a remote authenticated DSM user account (PR:L) with access to the Video API, plus victim user interaction: the malicious payload only triggers when the video player is launched (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a moderate, authenticated cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79) in the Video API of Synology DSM, best treated as routine-priority patching rather than an emergency. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade DSM to the fixed builds referenced in Synology advisory SA_26_06 - 7.2.1-69057-10, 7.2.2-72806-7, or 7.3.2-86009-2 (or later maintenance releases on the corresponding branch) - which neutralize the unsanitized input in the Video API; the advisory at https://www.synology.com/en-global/security/advisory/Synology_SA_26_06 is the authoritative source for exact build and model applicability and should be followed rather than relying on this summary. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
