CVE-2024-50630
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 · uneditedMissing authentication for critical function vulnerability in the webapi component in Synology Drive Server before 3.0.4-12699, 3.2.1-23280, 3.5.0-26085 and 3.5.1-26102 allows remote attackers to obtain administrator credentials via unspecified vectors.
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 confidenceMissing authentication vulnerability in Synology Drive Server's webapi component allows unauthenticated remote attackers to obtain administrator credentials. The flaw affects multiple version branches (3.0.x before 3.0.4-12699, 3.2.x before 3.2.1-23280, and 3.5.x before 3.5.1-26102) and enables credential theft via unspecified vectors without requiring valid authentication.

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.
-
Verify Synology Drive Server is installedAccess Synology Package Center or run `synopkg list` via SSH to confirm Synology Drive Server package is installedAffected if Package is not installed or not applicable
-
Check installed version of Synology Drive ServerIn Package Center, click on Synology Drive Server to view version details, or run `synopkg info SynologyDriveServer` via SSHAffected if Version is 3.0.x before 3.0.4-12699, 3.2.x before 3.2.1-23280, or 3.5.x before 3.5.1-26102
-
Confirm webapi component is exposedCheck if the webapi endpoint is accessible externally by attempting to reach https://[your-synology-ip]/webapi/ or the Synology Drive web interface pathAffected if Webapi interface is reachable from untrusted networks (internet or unauthorized LAN)
-
Review firewall or access rules for Drive ServerIn Synology Control Panel under Security > Firewall, verify if rules restrict access to the Drive Server webapi ports (typically 6690 for Synology Drive) to trusted IPs onlyAffected if No firewall rule restricts webapi access to authorized networks or IPs
User is affected if Synology Drive Server is installed with a version below 3.0.4-12699, 3.2.1-23280, or 3.5.1-26102 AND the webapi interface is accessible to untrusted networks.

Update Synology Drive Server to version 3.0.4-12699, 3.2.1-23280, 3.5.0-26085, or 3.5.1-26102 or later. As temporary mitigation, restrict network access to the webapi interface using firewall rules or VPN until the patch can be applied.
3.0.4-12699 (for 3.0.x branch), 3.2.1-23280 (for 3.2.x branch), or 3.5.1-26102 (for 3.5.x branch)
- 1. Identify the current installed version of Synology Drive Server via the DSM Package Center or command line
- 2. Determine which version branch is currently installed (3.0.x, 3.2.x, or 3.5.x)
- 3. For version 3.0.x: Upgrade to version 3.0.4-12699 or later
- 4. For version 3.2.x: Upgrade to version 3.2.1-23280 or later
- 5. For version 3.5.x: Upgrade to version 3.5.1-26102 (or 3.5.0-26085 as minimum)
- 6. Perform the upgrade via Synology DSM Package Center or manually download the .spk from Synology's download center
- 7. After upgrade, verify the new version is installed and test that Synology Drive functionality is working correctly
- 8. Review Synology's release notes for any additional post-upgrade configuration requirements
