CVE-2024-13087
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 · uneditedA command injection vulnerability has been reported to affect QHora. If an attacker gains local network access who have also gained an administrator account, they can then exploit the vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands. We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following version: QuRouter 2.4.6.028 and later
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 · moderate confidenceA command injection vulnerability in QNAP QHora routers (QuRouter) allows an authenticated attacker with local network access and administrator privileges to execute arbitrary system commands on the affected device.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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.
-
Check QuRouter firmware version via web interfaceLog in to the QuRouter admin panel (typically at http://192.168.100.1 or the router's IP address). Navigate to System Settings or Administration > Firmware Update. Record the current firmware version displayed.Affected if The displayed version matches any of the following: 2.4.0.190, 2.4.1.172, 2.4.1.634, 2.4.2.317, 2.4.2.538, 2.4.3.103, 2.4.4.106, 2.4.5.032, or 2.4.6.028
-
Check QuRouter firmware version via SSHConnect to the router via SSH using an administrator account (port 22 or custom port). Run the command 'qurouterctl version' or 'cat /etc/qurooversion' to retrieve the firmware version.Affected if The returned version matches any of the affected versions listed above.
-
Verify device is a QNAP QHora router running QuRouterConfirm the device model is a QNAP QHora series router (such as QHora-322, QHora-522, or QHora-321) and that it is running the QuRouter firmware (not QTS or other firmware). Check the web interface header or the label on the device for model information.Affected if The device is a QNAP QHora router running QuRouter firmware and the version is in the affected list.
-
Confirm administrator access is possibleVerify that you have administrator-level credentials for the QuRouter interface. Try accessing the admin panel or SSH with an account that has full administrative privileges.Affected if Administrator credentials are configured and functional on the device, making command injection possible if an attacker gains those credentials.
The device is affected if it is a QNAP QHora router running QuRouter firmware version 2.4.0.190 through 2.4.6.028 inclusive, as versions up to and including 2.4.6.028 contain the command injection vulnerability.

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 · scopedUpdate QuRouter firmware to version 2.4.6.028 or later. Additionally, enforce strong administrator credentials and limit local network access to trusted devices as defense-in-depth measures.
QuRouter 2.4.6.028 or later
- 1. Identify the current QuRouter version by accessing the QNAP QHora router administration interface
- 2. Navigate to the firmware update section within the router settings
- 3. Download and install QuRouter version 2.4.6.028 or later from the official QNAP support page
- 4. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the router's firmware version after reboot
