DescriptionCVE.org

An improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in extract domain in Synology Chat Server before 2.4.5-22148 allows remote authenticated users, via a UI interaction, to read or write arbitrary files and conduct denial-of-service attacks in DSM.

AnalysisAI

Stored/reflected cross-site scripting in Synology Chat Server before 2.4.5-22148 lets a remote authenticated user who lures a victim into a UI interaction execute injected script that pivots into the underlying DSM platform to read or write arbitrary files and trigger denial-of-service. The vendor-assigned CVSS 9.0 reflects a scope change (S:C) where compromise of the chat add-on cascades into the host DiskStation Manager operating system. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires (1) a valid authenticated Synology Chat account on the target server (CVSS PR:L - low privilege but not anonymous), and (2) a victim UI interaction in the Chat web interface (CVSS UI:R), meaning a logged-in user must view/click the malicious content for the script to fire. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.0) indicates network reachability, low complexity, low-privilege authentication, and required user interaction, with full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact amplified by a scope change into DSM. … 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.
