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. Verify Video Station is installed
    Log into the QNAP NAS web interface, open App Center, and look for Video Station in the installed applications list. Alternatively, access the NAS via SSH and run: ls /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/VideoStation 2>/dev/null || echo 'Not found'
    Affected if Video Station is not installed on the system
  2. Determine the installed Video Station version
    In the QNAP App Center, click on Video Station and view the version information shown in the app details panel. Alternatively, via SSH run: cat /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/VideoStation/VERSION 2>/dev/null
    Affected if The version displayed is 5.8.0, 5.8.1, 5.8.2, or 5.8.3 (any version >= 5.8.0 but < 5.8.4)
  3. Confirm the Video Station web interface is accessible
    Attempt to access the Video Station web portal by navigating to http://[NAS-IP]/video-station/ or via the QNAP main interface. Verify the login page loads.
    Affected if The Video Station web interface is reachable and accepts authentication credentials
  4. Check if remote access to Video Station is enabled
    In QNAP QTS, go to Control Panel > Applications > Video Station > Video Station Settings, and verify if remote access or any media streaming options that expose the interface externally are enabled. Also check if the NAS has port forwarding for HTTP/HTTPS configured.
    Affected if The web interface is exposed to network access beyond the local trusted network, increasing exposure to authenticated attack vectors

The system is affected if Video Station is installed with a version between 5.8.0 and 5.8.3 inclusive and the web interface is accessible for authenticated users.
