Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SYNO.NoteStation.Shard in Synology Note Station before 2.5.3-0863 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the object_id parameter.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Synology Note Station's SYNO.NoteStation.Shard component allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML via the object_id parameter in versions prior to 2.5.3-0863.

MitigationUpgrade Note Station to version 2.5.3-0863 or later to patch the vulnerability. Alternatively, implement input validation/sanitization on the object_id parameter or deploy a WAF rule to filter malicious payloads.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Synology Note Station is installed
    Log into Synology DSM and check the installed package list, or run 'sudo synopkg list' from the command line to see installed packages.
    Affected if Note Station does not appear in the installed packages list.
  2. Identify installed Note Station version
    In DSM, go to Package Center > Note Station > right-click > Details, or use command line: 'sudo synopkg getitembypkgname NoteStation' to retrieve the version information.
    Affected if Unable to retrieve version information for Note Station.
  3. Compare version against vulnerable range
    Compare your installed version to the affected range: versions prior to 2.5.3-0863. If the installed version string is less than 2.5.3-0863 (for example, 2.5.2-xxxx or 2.4.x), you are in the affected range.
    Affected if Installed version is a release prior to 2.5.3-0863.
  4. Verify Note Station web interface is accessible
    Access Note Station by navigating to your Synology's IP/hostname with the Note Station path (typically /note/), or confirm the SYNO.NoteStation.Shard API endpoint is responding.
    Affected if Note Station web interface is not accessible or not enabled.

If Synology Note Station is installed with a version lower than 2.5.3-0863 and the web interface is accessible, the environment is affected by this XSS vulnerability.
