MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated ADM session (CVSS PR:L) and network reachability to the ADM device (AV:N); no user interaction is needed (UI:N) and the attack is low-complexity (AC:L). The specific trigger is supplying attacker-controlled disk-serial input to the IHM log handling feature, which uses that value to construct the IHM log database file path. Exploitation is limited to affected versions (ADM 4.1.0-4.3.3.RUN1 and 5.0.0-5.1.3.RI81) and is bounded by the confidentiality-only impact (VC:H, VI:N, VA:N) - the flaw enables reading/redirecting to unintended files, not modifying or crashing the system, and the attacker must first obtain valid low-privileged credentials. |
| Impact | The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N, 7.1) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring low privileges and no user interaction, with a high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact - consistent with a read-oriented traversal where an authenticated user can disclose data but cannot write or crash the system. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS score was supplied, so current real-world exploitation pressure appears low. The main tension is the VC:H rating versus a description that only mentions accessing an 'unintended filesystem path or log database file' - the actual breadth of readable data (arbitrary files vs. only other database files) is not spelled out, so whether this yields high-value secret disclosure should be verified against the vendor advisory. Net: a genuine but authentication-gated information-disclosure issue, mid-tier priority, not an unauthenticated critical. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a low-privileged authenticated session on a network-reachable ADM device submits a crafted disk-serial value containing traversal sequences to the IHM log handling routine, causing it to open a log database file outside the intended directory and disclose its contents. Given AC:L and no user interaction required, the request is simple to automate; however, no public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026
Path traversal in the IHM Log handling of ASUSTOR ADM (the operating system for ASUSTOR NAS appliances) lets an authenticated attacker manipulate the disk-serial input used to build an IHM log database file path, redirecting the component to read an unintended filesystem path or log database. The CVSS 4.0 score is 7.1 with a confidentiality-only impact and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Affected releases span ADM 4.1.0 through 4.3.3.RUN1 and ADM 5.0.0 through 5.1.3.RI81.
RemediationAI
Consult the ASUSTOR security advisory at https://www.asustor.com/security/security_advisory_detail?id=68 and upgrade ADM to a fixed release beyond the affected ranges (past 4.3.3.RUN1 on the 4.x branch and past 5.1.3.RI81 on the 5.x branch); no exact fixed version string is included in the provided data, so treat the advisory as authoritative - patch available per vendor advisory. Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting who holds authenticated ADM accounts and enforcing least privilege, and avoid exposing the ADM management interface directly to the internet by placing it behind a VPN or restricting access by source IP, accepting the trade-off of less convenient remote administration. Because exploitation is authenticated, tightening account provisioning and monitoring IHM/log-subsystem access for anomalous disk-serial values are practical compensating controls.

Technical ContextAI · show details
ADM (ASUSTOR Data Master) is the Linux-based NAS operating system shipping on ASUSTOR network-attached storage devices, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:asustor_inc.:adm. The flaw is a CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory / path traversal) issue: the IHM (health/hardware monitoring) logging subsystem takes a disk serial number as input and concatenates it into the on-disk path of a log database file. Because that serial-derived value is not sufficiently sanitized, traversal sequences (e.g. ../) or crafted values can escape the intended log directory, causing the component to open a file outside its expected scope.

DescriptionCVE.org
A path traversal vulnerability was found in the IHM Log handling of ADM. The vulnerability occurs because user-controlled disk serial input is not sufficiently validated before being used to construct the path of an IHM log database file. An authenticated attacker can exploit this issue to cause the affected component to access an unintended filesystem path or log database file. Affected products and versions include: from ADM 4.1.0 through ADM 4.3.3.RUN1 as well as from ADM 5.0.0 through ADM 5.1.3.RI81.
Executive ViewAI
ASUSTOR ADM, the operating system powering ASUSTOR NAS appliances, contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated users to access unintended filesystem paths and sensitive log databases, creating data exposure risk across enterprise storage infrastructure. Organizations running affected versions (ADM 4.1.0-4.3.3.RUN1 and 5.0.0-5.1.3.RI81) should assume that any authenticated user could read sensitive data stored on these systems. With no patch available, interim access controls are required to mitigate exposure while awaiting vendor remediation.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement interim mitigations: restrict ADM system access to dedicated administrative networks with firewall rules, enforce role-based access controls limiting user privileges to necessary functions only, maintain continuous audit logging of filesystem access attempts with alerting for anomalous patterns, segment NAS systems from general user networks, and maintain offline encrypted backups of critical data independent of affected appliances to limit exposure window in case of unauthorized access.
