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 Photo Station is installed on the QNAP device
    Log into the QNAP admin interface (QTS) and navigate to App Center to verify Photo Station is installed, or check via QNAP CLI: /sbin/etc/init.d/photo Station status
    Affected if Photo Station application is present on the system
  2. Identify installed Photo Station version
    In QTS, go to App Center > Photo Station > click the version number to display the current version, or check via command line: cat /etc/config/qpkg.conf | grep -A5 PhotoStation
    Affected if The displayed version falls below 6.0.3, 5.7.10, 5.4.9, or 5.2.11 (depending on the major version branch)
  3. Verify Photo Station web interface is network-accessible
    Check if the Photo Station web portal is reachable over network by accessing http(s)://[QNAP-IP]/photo/ from an external system, or check QNAP firewall rules in Control Panel > Security > Firewall
    Affected if The Photo Station web interface is exposed to untrusted networks (internet or guest networks)
  4. Confirm authentication is not enforced for Photo Station
    Attempt to access the Photo Station login page without credentials at http(s)://[QNAP-IP]/photo/, or review QNAP access control settings in Photo Station > Settings > General > Authentication
    Affected if Anonymous or unauthenticated access to Photo Station is enabled

If Photo Station is installed with a version below the safe thresholds (6.0.3, 5.7.10, 5.4.9, or 5.2.11) and its web interface is network-accessible without强制认证, the environment is vulnerable to CVE-2019-7195.
