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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm QuMagie is installedCheck for QuMagie application in QNAP App Center or look for qumagie processes running on the systemAffected if QuMagie application is present on the QNAP device
-
Identify installed QuMagie versionIn QNAP App Center, click on QuMagie and view the version information, or access QNAP via SSH and check the application version file if availableAffected if Installed version is lower than 2.1.4 (e.g., 2.1.3, 2.1.2, etc.)
-
Verify QuMagie network service is accessibleConfirm the QuMagie web interface is reachable over the network by accessing the QNAP IP with the QuMagie portAffected if QuMagie HTTP/HTTPS interface is exposed to network beyond local admin access
-
Review QuMagie user authenticationCheck QNAP user accounts that have QuMagie access permissions via QNAP Control Panel > Privilege > Shared Folders or App privilegesAffected if There are multiple users or external accounts with QuMagie access permissions
You are affected if QuMagie is installed and the installed version is below 2.1.4, especially if the QuMagie web interface is network-accessible to authenticated users.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2.1.4
Upgrade QuMagie to version 2.1.4 or later to apply the vendor patch. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to QuMagie interfaces and review authentication controls.
QuMagie 2.1.4 or later
- 1. Identify the current QuMagie version installed on your QNAP device
- 2. Access the QNAP App Center or use QNAP's firmware update mechanism
- 3. Update QuMagie to version 2.1.4 or later to resolve the SQL injection vulnerability
- 4. Verify the update was successful and the new version is running
