HIGH 7.5

DescriptionCVE.org

An allocation of resources without limits or throttling vulnerability has been reported to affect File Station 5. If a remote attacker gains a user account, they can then exploit the vulnerability to prevent other systems, applications, or processes from accessing the same type of resource.

We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following version: File Station 5 5.5.6.4847 and later

AnalysisAI

Denial-of-service vulnerability in QNAP File Station 5 that allows an authenticated attacker to exhaust system resources without limits or throttling, preventing legitimate users and processes from accessing the affected service. The vulnerability affects File Station 5 versions prior to 5.5.6.4847 and is remotely exploitable with no user interaction required once account access is obtained. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (High) and network-based attack vector, this represents a significant availability risk for organizations relying on File Station for network file access.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability exploits improper resource allocation handling in QNAP File Station 5, classified under CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling). The root cause involves the absence of rate limiting, request throttling, or resource quota mechanisms in File Station's request handling pipeline. An authenticated user can trigger unbounded resource consumption (likely file handles, memory, I/O operations, or concurrent connection slots) that degrades service availability. The vulnerability is specific to File Station 5, which is QNAP's proprietary file management interface running on their NAS systems (CPE likely qnap:file_station or similar). The lack of AC:L (Low Complexity) in the CVSS vector indicates the attack requires only basic user privileges and standard protocol requests, with no special conditions needed for exploitation.

RemediationAI

Immediate remediation: (1) Upgrade File Station 5 to version 5.5.6.4847 or later; download from QNAP's official support portal for your NAS model; (2) Verify patch application by checking File Station version in the admin console; (3) Short-term mitigations pending patching: restrict File Station access to trusted IP ranges via firewall ACLs; disable File Station if not actively required; monitor resource usage (CPU, memory, I/O, active sessions) for anomalies; implement connection limits or rate-limiting at the reverse proxy/load balancer layer if File Station is exposed externally; audit and revoke unnecessary user accounts to reduce attack surface. Long-term: maintain a patch schedule for QNAP firmware and applications; monitor QNAP security advisories regularly.
